People are only interested when it affects their immediate family. It seems like no one wants to learn about mental unless it effects them. My daughter works as a school counselor and it seems that parents don't really want to know or find out how to help their children that are affected by mental health issues. Nor or the teachers willing to go that extra step to help students with mental health problems.
So many of our young people are affected by social anxiety and anxiety in general and need help. I wish there was more education on such matters, and not so much negative stuff in the news about mental health. Raise awareness. Doctor's offices should really have pamphlets about more specific problems.
