Like any other part of the body, stress, trauma and illness affect the brain. It is common to experience mental health challenges. In fact, about half of us will have a diagnosable mental health condition within our lifetime. It is important to remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw. With treatment and support, people do recover.
“It helped knowing other people were in the same boat that I was in. That was really important. They were getting better so I thought, well, maybe I can get better.”
If you have emotional pain that isn’t going away and/or thoughts of suicide, call your primary care doctor or mental health provider. If you are in crisis and need immediate support, call the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
Please note: this is not a recommendation or endorsement of any one provider; this is a resource.
