Mental Health is an incredibility important part of our overall health. Only until more recently, mental illnesses and mental health disorders were taboo topics. People were uncomfortable talking about these subjects or their mental health struggles. As a result, rumors and misunderstandings about mental illnesses ran wild.
The media has played no helping hand with exaggerated stories and extreme cases being showcased regularly. Although there has been progress, there are still several misconceptions about mental disorders that many people still believe.

When it comes to gambling, everyone knows about Las Vegas and most know about Northern Kentucky. But did you know about an extremely popular supper club located in Branch Hill/Loveland Ohio that preceded both? This is the story of the Arrowhead Inn. While it was only in operation for a few years, it had a major impact on the characters who eventually built Las Vegas into the mecca of gambling in America. The Arrowhead Inn is now mostly forgotten, even by the people of Loveland. However, you can still find remnants of the old Inn where the Arrowhead Apartments now reside.
