Like many chronic illnesses, those issues related to mental health do not have a “cure.” But through treatment, the symptoms may be managed, allowing for a fulfilling life. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 50 million Americans suffer from a mental disorder, such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and others.

For those living with mental illness, there will be both good and bad mental health days. With an understanding of their condition and by practicing habits that contribute to their wellbeing, one can choose to have more “good” days.

As part of its commitment to helping break the stigma regarding mental health issues, South Texas Health System Behavioral will host a special free online seminar as part of its monthly “Let’s Talk Mental Health” webinar series.
