Mental Health America

In times of crisis, finding the right support is crucial. That’s why Mental Health America has launched the Crisis Resource Center, a collection of information and resources designed to help you navigate difficult moments. Inside, you’ll find tools to aid in your coping and recovery of events like the aftermath of a disaster, navigating a mental health crisis, or grappling with the effects of violence, abuse, or discrimination.

Did you know if you have taken certain medications for a mental health condition, like schizophrenia, you might be at risk for developing a condition known as #TardiveDyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an incredibly debilitating - and stigmatized - health disorder. For #OCDAwarenessWeek, we want to dispel the myths and misconceptions around OCD. OCD is often a chronic, relapsing illness. People with OCD suffer intensely from recurrent unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or rituals (compulsions), which they feel they cannot control. Left untreated, obsessions and the need to perform rituals can take over a person's life. You can learn more about OCD, find treatment options, and access resources at mhanational.org/ocd.
