Mental and Emotional Disorders Awareness

The percentage of our population that is dealing with mental and emotional health disorders is skyrocketing at the moment. However, luckily, dialogue on the topic is opening up more and more, and we are more open to discussing disorders in groups, with family and friends, with doctors and specialists. 

As a society, we are looking to find the root cause of mental and emotional disorders, we are seeking to manage, maintain and assist in overcoming these disorders as they creep their presence into our lives and the lives of our loved ones around us. 

Awareness is key when it comes to hidden disease and disorders, frank discussions, openness to learn and a willingness to care for each other at our most vulnerable. 

The number of people suffering is startling. Children, adolescents and adults alike – no age group is left unaffected. 39% of adolescents have an anxiety disorder. Depression is the #1 cause of disability in the world. PTSD affects 13 million Americans. These issues need to be addressed, need to be helped in 2020.
