The last year has been a challenge that no one could have prepared for and it's normal to feel out of control or "not OK." It's important to know the difference between feeling overwhelmed or anxious because of the current challenges and an undiagnosed mental illness. Please take a look at the common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents and use our list of resources to get help if you need to.

If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, please call 800-273-8255 immediately.
