According to the Ohio Department of Mental Health, one out of five people in the United States has a mental illness. Mental illness does not discriminate – it strikes people of all ethnic groups, religions, and economic brackets. Likely you know someone who has been impacted by depression, anxiety or other disorder.
Fortunately, people can regain their mental health.
