True or False: 55% of people with arthritis are under 65 years old?

True!

Arthritis affects people of all ages (yes, including children), with over 100 different types affecting 1 in 5 Canadians.

This complex disease can take many forms, resulting in an array of symptoms that can vary from person to person. Some common signs of arthritis include:

- Pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain and stiffness that increases with inactivity (or decreases with activity)
- Stiffness in the morning that lasts one or more hours

September is Arthritis Awareness Month, and if you're struggling with the pain of this debilitating disease, talk to your pharmacist about ways to manage the pain.

- Stretch your calves and feet

If you're struggling with chronic planter fasciitis, talk to your pharmacist today to learn how to ease the symptoms.

Many mental illnesses are widely misunderstood, and Schizophrenia is certainly near the top of that list. Let's break some myths, shall we?

- Schizophrenia is a medical illness, and is NOT the result of trauma.
- It is treatable, and early detection and treatment WORK.
- Men and women are affected equally.
- Schizophrenia does not discriminate- it affects people worldwide, from all cultures, ethnicities, and social classes.

This devastating mental illness affects roughly 1 in 100 people across the globe, and it's time to shatter the stigma surrounding it.

We challenge you to take some time and educate yourself further on this condition, helping break down the barriers those in your community with this illness may be facing.
