MENTAL HEALTH

Overview

Nearly 20% of adults in the U.S. experience mental health issues, with many not seeking professional help or receiving an accurate diagnosis. Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Poor mental health can significantly impact one’s professional and personal life.

Every year, countless adults grapple with the effects of undiagnosed mental health issues. Studies have shown that individuals with mental health challenges often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, leading to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
