Yeah, um, as we've discussed, the U.S. mental health care system is not great (to put it v politely), but now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's discuss how to help yourself and your friends and fam within the current system.
It's easy to put off focusing on your mental health when you're not feeling so bad—you might be thinking: Isn't everybody feeling stressed out and anxious these days?—but it's so much harder to help yourself feel better once things get worse. Be proactive about it now.
Mental Health America, which runs a campaign called B4Stage4, put it this way on its site: "When [people] first begin to experience symptoms such as loss of sleep, feeling tired for no reason, feeling low, feeling anxious, or hearing voices, we should act. These early symptoms might not ever become serious. Like a cough, they often go away on their own, and are nothing to fear. But when they do not go away, it typically takes 10 years from the time they first appear until someone gets a correct diagnosis and proper treatment."
