Stigma around mental health still persists, even as awareness rises. Understanding what it really means is the first step toward empathy, support, and change.

Read more about how stigma shows up and what we can do about it.

Mental health stigma refers to negative beliefs people may hold about those with mental illness, which can lead to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Public awareness and literacy have increased substantially over the years, yet some entrenched stigmas persist today.

Mental Health Matters — Every Day 💙

In psychiatry, we know that caring for your mental health isn’t just about treatment, it’s also about everyday habits that support your brain and emotional well-being.

Simple reminders that make a big difference:
• Stay active to boost mood and reduce stress.
• Get enough sleep to support emotional balance.
• Eat healthy foods to nourish the brain.
• Connect with others to reduce isolation.
• Talk about your feelings, your voice matters.
• Take breaks and relax to reset and recharge.

These small, consistent steps can support mental wellness at any age, for children, teens, and adults alike. Psychiatry focuses on caring for the whole person, and that includes daily self-care habits that strengthen resilience and emotional health.

If you or someone you love needs support, reaching out is a powerful first step.

ADHD and anxiety are closely connected. Anxiety disorder is ADHD’s most common comorbidity — in no small part because the ADHD experience makes for a life characterized by stress and worry. This is especially true in the time of the pandemic, when new coping mechanisms are required.
