May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness of those living with mental illnesses and encouraging the well-being of children, adults, and families across the United States. The month was commemorated in 1949 by Mental Health America Organization (MHA), an organization dedicated to providing foundational knowledge about mental health, mental conditions, and information on the protocols to take if your mental health is a cause for concern.
Suffering from mental health issues can take a toll on both your mental and physical health, affecting the way you feel, think, and act, and also determining the way you manage stress and make decisions.
