October 2021

Did you know?

Mental Health Awareness Week in the United States is October 3 - October 9.

World Mental Health day is October 10th, 2021.

A study performed in 2017 reports approximately 10% of the population in the World meet criteria for a mental illness diagnosis, this is about 793 million people (Dattani et al., 2021)

Being knowledgeable about mental illness helps break the stigma that many with diagnosed mental illnesses feel trapped by. If you know someone with a mental illness, read some recent research about the diagnosis and symptoms. If you think you may be someone who meets the criteria for a diagnosis, seek a therapist who can help!
