What do Terry Bradshaw, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman, and J.K. Rowling have in common? Depression. What do Jane Pauley, Renee Ruso, Demi Lovato, and Russell Brand have in common? Bipolar Disorder. Are there many other celebrities who have chosen not to share their diagnoses with the public - sure! But many, many have. Are there people in your workplace, place of worship, neighborhood and family who have anxiety or depression or ADHD or bipolar or panic disorder or OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,) or eating disorders, or PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,) etc? Sure! It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans will, at some point in their lives, suffer from a mental health illness. There is an unfortunate stigma that has surrounded mental health issues, mostly due to lack of understanding. Research is making many exciting discoveries that will increase understanding and greatly improve treatment for many of these conditions. There are already many proven, effective treatments as well! Please talk to a mental health provider for more information and support for yourself or your child.
