Mornings with Pleas' The Podcast

Pay attention to your Mental Health!

Eddie Season 2 Episode 22

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) the following statistics show the percentages of people in the U.S. affected by mental health issues.

  • 22.8% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2021 (57.8 million people). This represents 1 in 5 adults.
  • 5.5% of U.S. adults experienced serious mental illness in 2021 (14.1 million people). This represents 1 in 20 adults.
  • 16.5% of U.S. youth aged 6-17 experienced a mental health disorder in 2016 (7.7 million people)
  • 7.6% of U.S. adults experienced a co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness in 2021 (19.4 million people)

In this episode we have a conversation on, Pay attention to your mental health.  From my own opinion it seems that we underestimate mental health or the lack thereof, I can attest to that personally. I believe not until one takes a self-assessment of oneself you can easily misinterpret what is going on with you. 

So, I pray that this conversation gives you some insight and a clear path towards better and with Gods help we're going to be alright!

Thanks for listening
