1 in 5 Adults have a mental health condition.
That’s over 40 million Americans; more than the populations of New York and Florida combined.
Only 25 Percent of people living with a mental health issue feel like others are caring or sympathetic about their condition. That implies a majority of people with a mental illness may feel shamed or judged. As mentioned above, studies show stigma is a very real problem and stands in the way of people seeking treatment.**
