Why Mental Health Matters
1 out of 5 Americans face mental illness. Mental illness matters because it can affect so many of us. It is important because it is still stigmatized today and not looked at as seriously as physical health. Mental health is crucial because it helps individuals function from day to day life. It helps us face challenges that come upon life and helps us succeed. The better our mental health is the better our life satisfaction will be. Mental health and illness is important to know because it can help us understand those suffering from it. If we all educate ourselves on this topic, we are normalizing it and helping those who feel isolated with their illnesses. Knowledge is important because it takes away ignorance and therefore reduces the stigma we see today.
