Depression

Depression is a common—though often underdiagnosed and undertreated— illness of the brain. An estimated 21 million, or 1 in 7 adults, in the U.S. suffer from some form of the disorder each year, more than coronary heart disease and cancer combined. Depression does not discriminate. It affects people of all ages, races and socioeconomic status. Individuals with depression and the loved ones who support them have suffered without help or hope for too long.

Anxiety vs. Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences at times. Many people feel anxious, or nervous, when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. Anxiety disorders, however, are different. They can cause such distress that it interferes with a person's ability to lead a normal life.

10 Reasons American Teenagers Are More Anxious Than Ever. By: Amy Morin

"We've created an environment that fosters anxiety, rather than resilience in young people. And while you can't prevent all anxiety disorders—there's definitely a genetic component—we can do a better job of helping kids build the mental muscle they need to stay healthy."

Mental Health Screening

Screening for Mental Health, Inc. (SMH) is dedicated to promoting the improvement of mental health by providing the public with education, screening, and treatment resources.

SMH pioneered the concept of large-scale mental health screening and education programs in 1991, with its flagship program, National Depression Screening Day (NDSD). SMH programs—provided both in-person and online—educate, raise awareness, and screen individuals for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, alcohol use disorders, and suicide.

ReachOut.com
ReachOut’s story started on the other side of the world—in Australia back in 1992, when a cousin of Jack Heath, founder of Inspire, took his life. When trying to make sense of it, Jack had a vision that young people could be connected with comprehensive resources and support through the media they use. With this support, lives could be saved and young people’s mental health and well-being could be improved. Inspire Foundation was founded and with the then escalating rates of youth suicide, Inspire launched the ReachOut website in 1998.

ReachOut USA uses the internet to provide information teens and young adults need and want in an anonymous, non-threatening and non-judgmental space. We believe that ReachOut USA can be valuable part of how teens and young adults handle the tough times they face. We are excited to be here but our story is just beginning.
