Learning About Your Mental Health
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately one in five adults in the United States experiences mental illness in a given year. Mental Health America has resource pages where you can screen yourself and get an idea of whether or not you're experiencing symptoms. To access these helpful tools, visit mentalhealthamerica.net.
KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS / The following video, presented by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), shows some of the common physical and behavioral signs associated with mental illness. Keep in mind that, while someone may experience one of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that a mental health or behavioral issue is present. Everyone is different. The point is to follow up with a professional therapist, just as you would if you sprained an ankle and had to visit a medical doctor. Don't suffer in silence. Ask questions and get the help you need, and life will be less of a challenge. For more info, visit nami.org.
