One out of every four adults experiences mental illness annually, yet less than half of them seek treatment. These issues impact individuals from all backgrounds – psychological distress spares no one. Despite the commonality of mental and behavioral health challenges, many who are suffering hesitate to seek assistance due to feelings of shame. This hesitance could sadly result in serious consequences, affecting one’s life quality and, at times, leading to suicide.
