Maybe Guns Aren't The Problem: Mental Health In America Sucks

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2016-09-14/the-10-most-depressed-countries

The U.S. is one of the most depressed countries in the world, according to the World Health Organization.

In terms of quality years of life lost due to disability or death ā€“ a widely adopted public health metric that measures the overall burden of disease ā€“ the U.S. ranked third for unipolar depressive disorders, just after India and China.

India, China and the U.S. are also the countries most affected by anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, according to WHO.

About one in five adults in the U.S. experiences some form of mental illness each year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, but only 41 percent of those affected received mental health care or services in the past year.

That's pretty terrible...

I've got a lot of mental health issues right now and I'm getting help, but man that's pretty bad. I would like to see more discussion on mental health and getting people help before they turn to violence & suicide.
