May was both Disability Insurance Awareness Month and Mental Health Month. In support of these themes, Guardian launched a month-long educational campaign centered on a microsite featuring a consumer quiz on disability and depression. For every completed quiz, Guardian pledged to donate $1 to support Mental Health America.

Thanks to you and many others who took the time to visit the site and take the quiz, Guardian will be donating $10,000 to Mental Health America, the country's leading mental health non-profit organization.

Equally important to raising money was helping to educate consumers about this often misunderstood disease, which is a leading cause of disability.

Common Issue with Major Impact
Based on the quiz results, consumers were uninformed about the prevalence of mental health problems and the associated costs to the U.S.:

• In a typical office of 20 people, each year, 4 people will likely suffer from a mental health problem.
• Untreated and mistreated mental illness costs the United States about $150 billion in lost productivity each year.

Consumers were much more likely to already have a solid understanding of the facts about depression itself (e.g. how it's treated, its causes, etc). This may be a reflection of widespread experience on a personal level or through a friend, family member or co-worker.

On behalf of Guardian and Mental Health America, thanks again for your support!
