1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness each year, yet many suffer in silence due to stigma or lack of access to care.
Seniors are often at risk for depression and anxiety due to isolation, chronic illness, or grief—but these conditions are treatable.
Family caregivers also face high rates of burnout, stress, and emotional fatigue that can lead to long-term mental health challenges.
Raising awareness this month means encouraging open conversations, advocating for resources, and letting people know they are not alone.
