Too often, people who need help for mental illness like depression or anxiety put off getting help. But just like you wouldn’t ignore a broken bone, you shouldn’t ignore symptoms of mental illness.

Mental illness is a medical condition. It is not your fault, and you can’t just “snap out of it.” Conditions like depression can be caused by genetics, biology, life events or chemistry in your brain. You didn’t cause your mental illness, and you can’t make it go away on your own.

There is treatment for depression, anxiety and other kinds of mental illness that can help you feel better. And there is no shame in getting the care you need. If you or a loved one are struggling with depression, help is available right here in Northwest Arkansas. Call Community Clinic at 1-855-438-2280 to get help you can afford in the language you speak.
