Mental Health Anti-Stigma - Friends
Mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder are widespread.
In 2005 there were an estimated 24.6 million adults age 18 or older who experienced
serious psychological distress (SPD), which is highly correlated with serious mental
illness. Among 18-25 year olds, the prevalence of SPD is high (18.6 % for 18-25, vs.
11.3% for all adults 18+) yet this age group shows the lowest rate of help-seeking
behaviors. Further, those with mental health conditions in this age group have a high
potential to minimize future disability and pursue recovery if they receive the right
support and services early on. In an effort to provide these young adults with a better
chance at recovery, this campaign seeks to reach adults ages 18-25 with a message of
acceptance and understanding of mental illness. It hopes to encourage friends to offer
their support to a friend who has been diagnosed with a mental illness.
