MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health disorders are often some of the most commonly misunderstood conditions in many communities, especially the Latino/a community. When people do not completely understand mental health and disorders, it makes it harder for them to know how to find help if they need it. Mental disorders are very common and many types of treatment are available.
Mental illnesses are serious disorders which affect how you think, how you feel, and how you act. Mental disorders can come from your family health history, having life experiences with trauma, loss of a loved one, a history of substance use or many other factors. Mental health is important at every stage of life from your early childhood to late adulthood.
