According to the ADAA, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults every year.
Nearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment, according to ADAA.
I recommend National Alliance Mental Illness (NAMI)), Hinds Behavioral Health and Stilettos on the Pavement (SOTP) as organizations that provide resources, including support groups, located in Mississippi.
When people hear “Mental Health Disorders,” specifically in the South, their thoughts seem negative or they laugh, which can be hard on someone who is suffering.
It all begins with seeing a doctor to evaluate your mental health concerns and then findng a support system.
