Did you know that 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness? About 50% of adults with mental illness receive no treatment.
These issues affect people from all walks in life – no one is immune to psychological distress. Although mental illness is fairly common, sufferers often feel to embarrassed to seek help. This can ultimately have devasting consequences —mental illness lessens an individual’s quality of life and can even result in suicide.
