Mental Health by the Numbers
1 in 5 adults, 1 in 3 young adults (18-25) and 1 in 6 adolescents experience mental illness. The significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged adolescents and adults by being isolated, changing sleeping habits, virtual learning and working from home.
We must recognize the significant impact of the pandemic on our mental health
and the importance of increasing access to timely and effective care for those who need it.
A combination of a good support system, medication, therapy along with social and vocational rehabilitation has been proven to be effective in treating mental illnesses.
