May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about mental illness and reflect on the impact of mental health issues on individuals, families and communities.  According to the CDC, anxiety and mood disorders are the most common types of mental illness, with depression affecting more than 26% of the U.S.  adults at any given time and placing persons at higher risk for suicide. According to the World Health Organization, mental illness accounts for more disability than any other group of illness including cancer and heart disease. Evidence shows that positive mental health is associated with improved physical health. Unfortunately, negative attitudes caused by underlying stigma about mental illness can cause delayed treatment and interfere with recovery.
