May Is Mental Health Awareness Month: Prioritize Your Mind, Prioritize Your Life
At Evolve Psychiatry, we’re proud to recognize May as Mental Health Awareness Month—a national movement aimed at reducing stigma, increasing awareness, and encouraging treatment for mental health conditions. With nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiencing mental illness annually, the need for open conversations and accessible care has never been greater.
What Is Mental Health Awareness Month?
Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 1949 to shed light on the importance of mental wellness and advocate for those living with mental health conditions. It’s an opportunity to:
Raise awareness about common mental health disorders
Educate the public on early warning signs and treatment options
Promote the importance of self-care and mental wellness
Break the stigma that prevents many people from seeking help
Why Mental Health Matters More Than Ever
Mental Health Impacts Every Part of Life
Mental health is not just about the absence of illness—it’s about emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we handle stress, make decisions, and build relationships.
The Mental Health Crisis in the U.S.
Over 50 million Americans live with a mental health condition
Anxiety and depression rates have significantly increased in recent years
Many people go undiagnosed or untreated due to stigma or lack of access
Recognizing and addressing these issues is vital—not just in May, but year-round.
