SHUT UP About Mental Health?

There are many topics in this world people refuse to talk about. Why? Well, usually because it is a foreign concept to them. People are afraid of the unknown so if people are not talking about it, they feel it is not happening. This could not be further from the truth. There are MILLIONS of Americans living with mental illness and yet we do not talk about it. The only time mental health is addressed is after a tragic event such as suicide of a celebrity or a mass shooting when guns get the blame first. Why can’t we talk about it? Why are we ignoring it? I will allow this no more. It is time for these conversations to be had and we will start one right now.
