LETTER TO EDITOR: May is Mental Health Month

SchoolsYouth and Teen

May is Mental Health Month; a time designated to learn more about the importance of our mental health and its effect on our daily living and functioning. Mental Health America reminds us that 1 in 5 Americans will have a diagnosable mental health condition in any given year. Fifty (50) percent of Americans will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition sometime in their life; half of these people will develop conditions by the age of 14.
