Anxiety and depression are examples of mental health issues that are much more common than you may think and affect millions of people in the U.S.
“Mental health and substance use disorders affect people from all walks of life and all age groups. These illnesses are common, recurrent, and often serious, but they are treatable and many people do recover. Mental disorders involve changes in thinking, mood, and/or behavior. These disorders can affect how we relate to others and make choices.”
