Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I was hoping to find some help with a question I have. I was recently wondering what the top 15 mental illnesses are and I was hoping to get some advice from some of you. Does anyone have any ideas on what the most common mental illnesses are and what their symptoms are? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
