May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging understanding, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health conditions.



What is Mental Health?

Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and act, and it plays a vital role in how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.


Good mental health helps us manage everyday challenges and live fulfilling lives.Poor mental health can interfere with our relationships, work, and overall well-being—and may be a sign of a condition that needs care and support.



Common Mental Health Conditions

At Mental Health Hygiene and Wellness Clinic, we provide treatment and support for a wide range of mental health conditions, including:


  • Anxiety Disorders – Persistent fear or worry that disrupts daily life

  • Depression – Ongoing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest

  • PTSD – Post-traumatic stress following distressing or life-threatening events

  • OCD – Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors

  • Eating Disorders – Disordered patterns of eating and body image concerns

  • Substance Use Disorders – Struggles with alcohol or drug misuse

  • Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Insomnia, and more


No matter what you're facing, we’re here to help you find the care you deserve.



Why Awareness Matters

Mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. each year, yet stigma, fear, or lack of resources often prevent individuals from seeking help. Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to encourage understanding, promote early intervention, and ensure that no one feels alone in their journey.



At Mental Health Hygiene and Wellness Clinic, we believe that mental health is health—and everyone deserves access to compassionate, comprehensive care.



Challenges Faced by Individuals with Mental Health Conditions

  • Stigma and Discrimination – Shame and silence can make it harder to reach out.

  • Access to Care – Many people don’t know where to turn or face barriers like cost or lack of providers.

  • Delayed Diagnosis – Symptoms can go unrecognized, leading to longer periods without help.

  • Emotional Isolation – Mental health conditions can make people feel disconnected from loved ones or society.



How You Can Help

  • Normalize the Conversation – Talk about mental health like you would physical health.

  • Be a Supportive Presence – Listen with empathy and without judgment.

  • Promote Resources – Share information about local mental health services, like ours.

  • Take the First Step – Whether for yourself or someone you care about, reaching out can be life-changing.
