People with mental
illness look just like everyone else.
Mental illness is
far more common than many realize, affecting 1 in every 4 American
adults. It
can afflict persons of any age, race, religion, or income.
It
is not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor
upbringing.
Mental illnesses
are treatable. New treatment solutions have dramatically improved
the quality of life for millions. Most people diagnosed with a
serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by
actively participating in an individual treatment plan.
Sadly, fewer than
15% seek treatment.
