Young adults getting help

I was recently interviewed for an article by Nicole Pasulka on takepart.com. She’s done a great job covering the challenges that young adults today face in getting help with mental health concerns. This is an important topic because, as she writes,
“People between the ages of 18 and 30, often known as millennials, are more likely to be diagnosed with mental illnesses like depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, and less likely to seek treatment. Three quarters of all mental health conditions have emerged by the time the person is 24 years old.”

She touches on a lot of relevant issues concerning seeking treatment, so I recommend checking it out. The article is called “How These Millennials Realized It Was Time to Get Help” and you can read it here.
