Encouraging your patients to have healthy relationships and getting on a path to good
mental health begins with their ability to talk about how they feel. People experience
the symptoms of mental illness differently, and sharing how it really feels can help
the individual better understand the how/what/why of what they are experiencing.
Mental Health America has declared May “National Mental Health Month,” and
the following businesses urge you to encourage your patients to seek professional
treatment for any issues related to their mental health. Remember, mental illnesses are
common and treatable, and help is always available.
