Mental Health is Health Too

My name is Charli Smith. A recent passion of mine is to help people with depression, anxiety, PTSD or any other mental health illnesses get the treatment they deserve. I believe these illnesses are just that, illnesses. They need treatment. That treatment may include therapy, counseling, hospitalization or medication and health insurance should cover these treatments. After all, we pay the premiums! Suicide rates are rapidly increasing and I believe a lot of the reason is because people can't pay for these treatments out of pocket and they go to their primary care physicians whom prescribe psychiatric medications and do not monitor the patients afterward. Please take the time and support my passion and let's get something done about this!
