    1 in 5 adults have a mental health condition, but less than ½ receive or seek treatment. During Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m fighting to end the silence & the sigma on mental health and promote mental wellness. #mhm2019

        Mental health is such a pervasive issue! Many drug issues arise from people self medicating their mental health issues. Then it becomes an addiction and a vicious circle.

        It's not just stigma most mental health services aren't covered by insurance and with the vast majority of Americans scraping by paycheck to paycheck we couldn't afford the care even if we wanted it.

        We now have a PayPal and GoFundMe. $26,000 we owe to save our daughter. 8 suicide attempts 6 hospitalizations, I'd do it all again. She's alive.

        I fight every day, for my daughter. Every day. I worry, when I get home, will I find her without life. Every day. Every day we talk, because my daughter's battle is every single day. 8 times... She has lost hope.pic.twitter.com/WSFzvEXh20

        This is so true. I would hazard that the portion of the population is closer to 3 in 5, but many are undiagnosed. Mental health is health and should be treated as such. Healthcare is important!!

        Honestly it’s hard to find providers in rural areas.

        I would wager the percentage of people seeking treatment is far less than half. And as long as we allow the stigma to be attached to mental health, people will die. A lot of people.
