MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT A VIRTUE
Mental illness affects everyone.
43.8 million adults in America (nearly 1 in 5) experience mental illness in a given year.
Nearly 10 million adults in America (1 in 25) live with a serious mental illness.
One half of all chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14; another 25% begins by the age of 24.
If you or someone you know is suffering from mental illness, please find help.
The above statistics and more information about mental health can be found on www.nami.org
