If you or a loved one struggle with anxiety, stress, isolation, or depression, you’re not alone. While one in five people will experience mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can be stressful and overwhelming. It’s important to know that mental health conditions are common and treatable. When you or a covered dependent needs help, Medica has a variety of resources.
