    Mental health challenges are on the rise. Statistics show one in five U.S. adults experience mental illness each year, and one in six U.S. youths between six and 17 years old experience a mental health disorder each year. This according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

    If you or a loved one are experiencing these concerns, you may wonder when it's time to seek care or what kind of mental health provider best fits your needs. Here to offer guidance and support is Kayla Nalan-Sheffield and Kate Andal. Both are psychologists at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
