At Aliso Ridge Behavioral Health, we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. That’s why we created our new Mental Health Myths vs. Facts video — a quick, 90-second resource designed to help you separate fact from fiction and encourage open, honest conversations about mental wellness.

Why Mental Health Myths Matter
Misconceptions about mental health can discourage people from seeking help, delay treatment, and contribute to feelings of shame or isolation. By addressing common myths head-on, we can empower individuals to take the first step toward healing and create a more supportive community for everyone.
3 Common Mental Health Myths — and the Truth Behind Them
1. “Mental health problems are rare.”
In reality, one in five adults in the United States experiences a mental health condition each year. It’s far more common than most people realize, and it affects people of every age, background, and lifestyle.
2. “People with mental health conditions can’t live full, productive lives.”
With the right care, many people successfully manage their symptoms, excel in their careers, and maintain meaningful relationships. Treatment works and recovery is possible.
3. “Asking for help is a sign of weakness.”
It takes courage to reach out for support. Seeking help is a powerful step toward healing, growth, and improved quality of life.
