Getting Our Minds Around Mental Health & Essential Facts of Bipolar Disorder

Mental Illness: Getting Our Minds Around The Facts A recent survey by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) found that many people know little or almost nothing about the warning signs, causes and effective treatments for mental illnesses-even though in any given year, one in five Americans suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder.

Sometimes even emotional upheavals are enough to make women’s…
