Mental Health America is dedicated to addressing the needs of the one in five adults living with a mental health condition.
Despite the prevalence, mental health conditions are often wrongly associated with stigma. That means people who are struggling with mental health challenges may never get the support they need. Among these are people living with movement disorders, who may experience a mental health condition as a comorbidity or symptom of their disease, or who may develop a movement disorder related to the use of certain medications.
“Mental Health America believes policymakers should talk with people about what they need to live the lives they want and support them in getting there,” said Schroeder Stribling, president and CEO of Mental Health America.
The Movement Disorders Policy Coalition is proud to join forces with Mental Health America and help advocate for public policies that support mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention services and integrated care services for all, with recovery as the goal. No matter the condition, every person deserves access to adequate support.
