About Mental Health
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mental illnesses are among the most common health conditions in the United States.
- More than 50% of people are diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder in their lifetime.
- 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year.
- 1 in 5 children, either currently or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental illness.
