In any given year, 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Access to treatment helps in 70-90 percent of these cases.

Cost of untreated mental health to America is over $100 BILLION dollars including unemployment, unnecessary disability and substance abuse.

Frankly, getting help with depression or addiction should be as routine as going to the dentist. It would save us a lot of money.

On my mind today as I run out of Prozac and learn one of the possible side effects of sudden disuse is electric shock sensations. Scary.

I wouldn't be in this position if I had healthcare or could afford to go get a new prescription.

Have you tried Obamacare? I hear it's free.

Not free. When my premiums went up, I had to switch providers and didn't complete the transfer before the open enrollment. Bye insurance.

Welcome to government-run healthcare.

Actually, I've always struggled at the poverty line and Obamacare was the only reason I could afford healthcare in the last decade.

Well, I've always worked my ass off, and our premiums went through the roof when Obamacare kicked in. Your windfall came out of my pocket.

Nice, I've always worked my ass off too! Currently working two full time jobs and going to school full time. Being poor means I'm lazy?
