mental illness is not going away it is in our face daily we need to have a system that works, so: address it accept it pursue it my experience is just a microcosm of what is happening in our society mentally everything trickles down to the root- mental health and unless we address the root of the problem we will continue seeing tragedies like columbine and sandy hook what took so many lives what will it take to wake us up and realize we can't keep on keepin on this way we need to address the root the right way.
