**do not go undiagnosed -do not accept your children being undiagnosable**

There is this a procedure called a brain spec scan mostly done by Amen Clinics - the spec scans needs to be included in the diagnosis process… it can pinpoint the area of the brain that needs help and that contributes to mental health disorders …. There is an answer… Canada mandates the scans in order to diagnose…. I have had my own scan done, so I know tge difference they make. I only wish that I would have known about it years ago. Reach out to us if you need more information.

🫶🏽Take care of yourself -look out for and do not give up on your children, family, or friends. We can’t do anything alone, they can’t do it without you. We need family and community to overcome the statistics.

In US
1 in 5 adults experience a diagnosable mental/brain health challenges (i.e anxiety)
1 in 20 adults experience serious mental challenges (i.e depression, su***de ideation)
1 in 6 youth ages 6-17 experience a mental/brain health disorder
By the age of 72, 50% of the population will have had an undiagnosed brain - mental health condition

75% of all mental health challenges begin by age 24
50% begin by age 14

Su***de is #2 in the cause of death in adolescence between ages 10 and 14

What are the signs and symptoms a child (or adult) may display if they’re going through something mentally and emotionally?

The children and communities need us to make a difference.

Heartbreaking- Stephen “tWitch” Boss, died by su***de. Sending love and prayers to his family. 🙏🏽

No one may never know what you are thinking, feeling and going through. If you have any thoughts of su***de there is hope and help. You are not alone, there is a support system wanting you to reach out, wanting to help you. Call the National Su***de Line 1-800-273-talk (8255), don’t want to talk?, no problem, text MHFA to 741741. There is someone hoping to connect with you.

When we hurt physically, we get professional medical help. The same applies -if you experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges or symptoms, call someone, seek professional help, share what you are going through sooner rather than later. Life is not meant to do anything alone. 🙏🏽❤️
