May is Mental Health Month. Learning more about mental and behavioral health issues can help reduce the stigma associated with them. Many people often ignore their mental health until something serious happens. The best way to prevent that is to always pay attention to your mental health – when you're feeling bad, ok or even great. Keep in mind that it is normal for your mental health to shift over time. When you need assistance, reach out to the resources around you. Those may include your friends, family, oncologist, primary care doctor, spiritual advisor or local mental health organization.
