In the spirit of celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how designers are looking to impact mental health. We as creative solvers have every reason to do so since depression has increasingly plagued the minds of Americans of all demographics. Since 2011, suicide has been the 10th leading cause of death in the US. If you are one of many that suffer or have suffered from a rough patch, I want to let you know you are not alone. These designers below are trying to make a better world for all of us. So even as May leaves us, the pursuit of happier people lasts all year long.
