Mental health has been glossed over as something that people must "get over" and they will be fine. That is not true. Because of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, it has results in the death of many people, no matter their occupation: Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams, Chester Bennington, and Kim Jonghyun are just some of the famous suicides that took place because of how our society neglects depression. This is a problem around the world, but we as a community and I as a humble citizen of Los Angeles can start domestically for change. Every year, one receives a doctors check-up, notably right before they go to school. I petition that we should have annually, or maybe monthly, checkups for our mental health. This way, we can monitor health of millions as recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Hello guys! Thank you to those who have signed on in less than 24 hours! This is a great start to a bright future. With this opportunity, I would like to share how you can detect if someone is depressed. This way, we can know before something drastic happens:
- Change in sleep pattern
- Doesn't eat
- No social interaction.
- Lack of energy, difficulty concentrating or remembering things.
- Feeling worthless and helpless.
- May avoid school, become clingy w/ parents.
Thanks and keep sharing!
