Your Mental Health is important. Individuals living with serious mental illness face an increased risk of having chronic medical conditions.
 

Mental health disorders in children, adolescents, and adults can be caused by biology, environment, or a combination of both.
 

Many of the symptoms and much if the distress associated with mental, emotional and/or behavioral problems may be alleviated with timely and appropriate treatment and support services.
 

Racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to have access to mental health services and often receive a poorer quality of care.
 

Fewer than one-third of adults and one-half of children with diagnosable mental disorders receive mental services in a given year.
 

When untreated, mental health disorders can lead to family conflicts, drug abuse, violence, and even suicide.
