Mental health advocates say awareness is the first step -- in putting and end to the stigma associated with mental illness and treatment.
Mental health awareness is on the rise. And mental health professionals say that that’s the first step — in putting the stigma associated with mental illness to an end.
Cahaba Center for Mental Health — Executive Director Carrie Bearden says more people than ever before — are paying attention to their mental well-being. “Gas prices are high. Groceries are high. And I think, you know if you’re already struggling and struggling to make ends meet — then that stress can really, um, really do some damage to you,” Bearden said.
“It can definitely lead to depression. Or feeling isolated or different. You know, just feeling like you don’t fit anywhere. Or you don’t measure up. I think that can be very discouraging for children. And for adults,” she said.
