About Us
At Carmel’s Depression & Anxiety Wellness Foundation, we educate, voice, and advocate for people struggling with depression and anxiety disorders. We are a resource center that provides essential information about mental health issues. Our goal is to provide coping skills to help individuals manage symptoms and improve their wellness. We guide them in navigating the healthcare system, including finding therapists, physicians, and other support groups.
What We Do
At Carmel’s Depression & Anxiety Wellness Foundation, we understand that the prevalence of depression and anxiety is increasing at an alarming rate. In 2019, over 21 million Americans experienced at least one depressive episode. The symptoms range from severe to mild. In addition, it is estimated close to 31.1% of American adults have developed anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. These prevalence rates have skyrocketed due to the poor quality of life occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and harsh economic conditions.
We established this organization to provide a secure mental health and wellness platform. We help people with depression and anxiety lead healthier lives.
