Hi Friends! Long time, no chat! I'm back with another Mental Health Monday! This time it's extra special as it's focused on the Boca Recovery Center . An Outreach Representative saw some of my other MHM posts while scrolling the web and wanted to share some resources with us for our community! (Big thank you, Julie!)

Here is the link to their website article I will be referencing : https://bocarecoverycenter.com/addiction/depression/
Or you can click the hyperlink here to view!

Depression and Addiction are 2 powerful Mental Health struggles and when combined? They are quite the terrible two! Alcohol and Drug abuse can worsen your mental health symptoms and Depression is a known risk-factor when it comes to substance abuse.

Did you know? "Nearly a quarter of American adults in 2020 had a form of mental illness, with mood and anxiety disorders being some of the most common."

A quarter of American adults. According to the Cencus Clock there are roughly 334 million Americans. So, 334 mill divided by 25% is roughly... 83.5 million. (Sat is bad at math.. don't quote me).
Millions. Millions of people are struggling with their Mental Health. So believe me when I say YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Did you also know that there are 6 types of Depression ? 6! I only knew of 2 (seasonal being one of them since I live in a cold winter state!)
