Some people think that only people with mental illnesses need to pay attention to their mental health.

Health isn’t just about fitness or disease prevention – it’s about living your best life. 

While investing in your physical health is crucial to prevent chronic illness, investing in your mental wellbeing is just as important. Overlooking your mental health could lead to chronic stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, or a mental health emergency. 

Your mental health is one of your greatest assets. It helps you focus at work, overcome obstacles, get along with the people around you—to get well and stay well. 

1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a mental health condition in a given year. If it is not you, it is a family member, friend, or colleague. 

Take a Mental Health Test

Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.  Feeling anxious, excessively sad or low are common and treatable.  Recovery is possible.
