According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1-in-5 adults in the United States experience mental illness and 1-in-6 youths ages 6 to 17 experience a mental health disorder each year. The statistics are concerning — and growing.

These numbers indicate the need for even greater awareness — and knowledge — of mental illness.
