Appealing to the Senses

When I was searching the net today I came across this post secret. It makes me to see that someone has fallen so hard. Mental health is a huge issue in today’s society. It is suspected that 1 in 5 individuals will suffer from mental health issues in their life time. That number is huge! If you were to put five of your closest friends in a room statistically one or more of them suffers from mental illness. But out of those affected, for a variety of reasons will never seek medical diagnosis or attention. It isn’t healthy for the affected individual or anyone around them to go untreated. Mental illness is like any other medical issue in the sense that if left untreated it can progress to a state similar to that of the author of this post secret.
While you cannot see mental illness it doesn't mean it should be a silent disease.
