we have a mental health problem in the White House #ImpeachTrump

Thank you, I lost my Mom to suicide in October. She suffered from anxiety, depression, and alcoholism. Maybe she'd be here to celebrate her birthday (May13th) and Mother's Day if she had more professional help. I miss her very much and will continue to advocate for mental health
