May is National Mental Health Month.

Mental Health Month raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities.
In honor of National Mental Health Month, Sharp Best Health teams sits down to talk about hidden signs of depression, a common mental health disorder that can affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities such as sleeping, eating, or working. Approximately 10% of the U. S. population suffers from some form of depression. But thankfully, it’s one of the most treatable mental health conditions, usually managed with counseling or psychotherapy.

By getting familiar with the hidden signs of depression, you’ll be prepared to support your loved ones and help them seek additional resources.
