About Mental Health
Mental illness isn’t a weakness or defect in character. It's as real an illness as heart disease or cancer, and responds just as well to treatment. |

Adults and Abuse
Domestic abuse often begins with threats, name calling, violence in the victim's presence, or damage to objects or pets. |
|
Adults and Anxiety
Not so long ago, anxiety disorders didn't even have names, but people still suffered from them, their lives ruled by overwhelming anxiety and fear. |
|
Adults and Alcohol
More than half of U.S. adults have a close family member who’s suffering from or who has battled alcoholism or alcohol abuse. |
|
Adults and Depression
Feeling sad, discouraged, or worried can be a sign of depression, but so can physical symptoms such as a change in sleep or appetite. |
|
Adults and Stress
Stress is a part of life. When it becomes chronic—because of a bad marriage or a taxing job—it can lead to short- and long-term health problems. |

For Your Well Being
Poor physical health can impair mental health—and mental health disorders, such as depression or anxiety, can affect physical health. |
