MAY: MENTAL HEALTH MONTH
May is Mental Health Matters Month and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is amplifying the message “Together for Mental Health.” Covid and the isolation that many felt is still affecting the mental health of many. About 44 percent of high school students, nationwide, said they persistently felt sad or hopeless during 2021.
To learn more about mental illness, such as schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicide and addiction, visit the website: nami.org.
The site also gives warning signs and symptoms that could help one identify a potential problem early.
