Stop The Crazy Talk

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a treatable mental health condition. Yet, despite their high prevalence, far too many people fail to seek treatment at the first sign of trouble—most often due to fear … fear of being judged, being ridiculed, or labeled as “crazy.”
