Mental Illnesses are OK More than 7 million Black people in the U.S. are living with a mental health condition. So although mental health illnesses are very common, stigma keeps us from talking about and recognizing it. Do you know if you have a mental illness? Real talk: you might be ignoring the signs Do you sleep too much? Or zone out in front of the TV a lot? Do you suppress your emotions? Feel down and can’t seem to snap out of it? Or maybe you lost interest in things you once enjoyed? Maybe you struggle with relationships and controlling your moods? There are so many different symptoms of different mental illnesses. That’s why speaking with a professional is important to get the right kind of help. Health conditions are treatable: they’re not flaws or anything wrong with you as a person. Mental illnesses are biological and medical conditions that can be treated, just like cancer or diabetes. It’s not a spiritual flaw or weakness You matter: life can get better Today, treatments for mental illnesses are very effective. Once people seek treatment, more than 70% of symptoms are reduced and people feel better. Join us in the Movement and learn more at: www.IowaHealthiestState.com/BackTheBlack
