In a typical year, one in five Americans will experience some form of mental health issue. Of course, the last two years have been anything but typical. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health challenges, while at the same time upending our go-to support systems. On a national scale, we're still sorting out what all of this means long-term. But for now, at least, so many of us want to know: What can we do to feel a little bit better?
There's no one answer. Good thing we've got way more than one.
This spring, BDG presents How To Feel Better, a united effort across our Lifestyle, Parenting, and Culture & Innovation portfolios to help our readers face their challenges and go after what brings them joy.
