May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This annual observation began in 1949 to raise awareness of mental health conditions and improve mental wellness for all.
Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older —58 million people — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Additionally, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada for ages 15-44. Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. This is more than the disease burden caused by all cancers. Yet, mental illness often goes needlessly untreated. This year, two themes help bring attention to this situation.
‘Do More for 1 in 4’ is a call to action to help the 1 in 4 American adults who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition so they can go on to live full and productive lives. The second theme, ‘Healing Trauma's Invisible Wounds’, focuses on the impact of traumatic events on individuals and communities. It centers on asking the person-based question: "What happened to you?"
If you have a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with a serious mental illness, you are probably wondering what you can do to help. Although new forms of therapy, medications and community services have enabled many individuals to lead full, independent lives, support from family, friends and peers remains an essential element in the recovery process.
There are many ways you can help someone with a mental illness navigate the treatment system and work towards recovery. As in any relationship, emotional and practical support is always needed. Occasionally, family and friends participate in someone’s recovery by offering transportation, financial and housing assistance. Whatever form it takes, your support, compassion and respect matter.
Bergen Regional, as a leading provider of behavioral health services for children and adolescents, adults, seniors and those who are chemically addicted, is an excellent resource for anyone who is struggling with mental illness or has a friend or family member in need of assistance.
Don’t let someone you care for suffer needlessly. Call the Access Center in confidence at 1.800.730.2762.
