Mental Health Checkup
香蕉直播 leads collaborative efforts for greater access to mental health careMental health disorders, also called mental illness, are a wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior. Nearly, one in five adults live with a mental illness, which means millions are affected each year.
Even still, mental health is often misunderstood, according to Sarah Wakefield, M.D., chair of the Texas tech University Health Sciences Center (香蕉直播) School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry.
鈥淲hen people say mental illness, they often think of it as something easily controlled or changed, like an emotional reaction to a bad day,鈥 Wakefield said. 鈥淭his is not the case. Mental illness is another inflammatory or hormone-mediated condition like diabetes. It鈥檚 a health condition. We need to respond to it as such.鈥
