December 1 is World AIDS Day
Every year on World AIDS Day, organizations and individuals worldwide focus on HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, to raise awareness about research, prevention, and treatment options, and reaffirm our commitment to ending the HIV epidemic. The theme for World AIDS Day 2020 is “Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Resilience and Impact.”
People living with HIV have an increased risk of developing mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders. Resilience, or the ability to adapt in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, or stress, can help protect people living with HIV from mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.

Thanksgiving can be a time to gather — whether in person or virtually — with family. It's also Family Health History Day, an excellent time to discuss the physical and mental health conditions that run in your family. Your family health history may be one of your best clues for determining your risk of developing a mental disorder and many other common illnesses.
