According to NAMI 50% of all mental illness begins by age 14 and one in five Americans live with a mental health condition. Melody is a passionate advocate for increasing the conversation and awareness around mental health and this week’s conversation focuses on what we have learned about mental health disorders. Steph shares a little about the most common mental disorder, Anxiety. Melody speaks to bi-polar and the four types (so far) that have been categorized in our mental health system. Tracy shares how she has listened to Jacob Hess and has found it interesting to hear several different perspectives on what helps those with mental illness. We invite our listeners to study a mental disorder and be a friend to those they know who struggle in this way, especially if it is you.
