Mental Illness Awareness

Mental Illness - Do You Know? was created to increase mental illness and mental health awarenessMental Illness Awareness. 

My name is Anita Jackson and I became a mental health advocate in 2014, based in Hamilton, Ontario.

Most people have acquired the knowledge of mental health through articles written by doctors and other medical professionals.

We have hand chosen articles related to mental illness and mental health and written by those with lived experience.

Topics will include agoraphobia, anxiety, bipolar, depression, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia and more.

I have put together some resources, internationally,
to help you with the COVID-19 and your mental health.
