Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature…
When something is wrong with our mental wellness, it can affect our physical wellness too. It can lead to higher blood pressure, weight gain or loss, shortness of breath and sleeplessness. Beyond the physical, mental health issues can affect relationships with family and friends, job performance and even how we deal with life on a daily basis. Even happy occasions can be stressful if you’re not mentally well.

The good news?
Help isn’t hard to find. The first step is talking about it.
Mental illness is a health condition. And just like most health conditions it’s treatable.
Mental illness can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, or religion, or income level. But many are afraid to talk about it. The more we talk about our mental health, the more we’ll be able to start living as a mentally healthier community.
