Mental health by the numbers
1. 1 in 5 Adults Experience Mental Illness Each Year
That’s more than 57 million people in the U.S. alone — facing conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.

This isn’t rare. It’s common.
And yet, so many still feel like they’re the only ones struggling.
2. 1 in 20 Adults Live with Serious Mental Illness
This includes conditions that substantially interfere with or limit major life activities.
It’s not just sadness or stress — it’s life-altering. And too often, it goes untreated.
3. Suicide is the 11th Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.
In 2022, over 49,000 Americans died by suicide — that’s one life lost every 11 minutes.

Behind every number is a person. A family. A future that could’ve been different.
🚨 The Care Gap
Despite the size of the crisis, millions of people still don’t get the help they need.
- Over 55% of adults with mental illness receive no treatment.

Why?
Because of stigma. Because of cost. Because people are scared to admit they need help.
We must change that.
🧬 Mind and Body: They’re Connected
Mental health isn’t “just in your head.”
- People with depression have a 40% higher risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

That’s why the P4L$ movement starts with health — both mental and physical.
💬 So What Do We Do?
We talk about it.
We normalize it.
We take action — and we build a lifestyle that supports mental wellness, not just survival.
“Mental health isn’t a weakness — it’s the foundation of strength.”
That means:
- Moving your body regularly
- Getting enough sleep
- Journaling, praying, or meditating
- Having hard conversations
- Knowing when to ask for help
🔗 Where the P4L$ Fit In
We’re not therapists — we’re a movement.
And in that movement, we believe:
- It’s okay to not be okay
- Healing and growth go hand in hand
- You can chase success without sacrificing your peace
This is the Pursuit 4 Limitless $uccess — and it starts with your mind.
