Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Mental health disorders are common in the United States. More than 1 in 5 US adults live with a mental illness. 

Over 1 in 5 youth (ages 13-18) either currently or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental illness.

Some common types of mental illnesses include anxiety disorders, mood disorders (such as depression and bipolar disorder), personality disorders, psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia), eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders.
