(WSIL)---Local professionals say mental health and physical health are connected.
Julie Bailey from Centerstone said both have to be taken care of in order for us to stay healthy.
Bailey also said without proper mental health care, it's harder to do our everyday responsibilities.
"Our mental health, taking care of it, if we don't take care of it, it's gonna affect every area of our life. From our relationships, to our work performance, our ability to continue to maintain our responsibilities aside from just feeling better," said Bailey.
Bailey said celebrities and athletes speaking out about mental health is a good thing. She hopes it can start conversations and hopefully remove stigmas.
