First Factoid Friday (isn't that nifty alliteration)

My fact: 1 in every 17 Americans lives with a mental illness and 1 in every 4 adults lives with a serious mental illness. Adding up to almost 57.7 million Americans with some sort of mental illness every year. The economic costs of untreated mental illness cost the US over 100 billion dollars each year.
