Mental health can be an elusive topic.
It’s difficult to “see” an invisible illness.
Most people hide it well for whatever reason.
However, there are disastrous results if we choose to ignore it.
A simple analogy:
Try to understand if a person has been drinking dirty water for a majority of their life.
Think about the Flint Water Crisis in Michigan.
For some time, the quality of Flint’s drinking water was unacceptable.
Though it’s hard to see immediate symptoms, the long term effects were inevitable.
It’s easy to tell someone to “just deal with it.”
It’s easy to grab that Dasani water bottle whenever you’re thirsty
While the person next to you can have no choice but to drink something with filth in it.
What kind of grime are we “drinking” everyday that’s affecting our mind?
Spit it out.
