While mental health can be described as "our emotional, psychological, and social well-being," mental illness "can affect your thinking, mood, and behavior."

Mental health problems can wreak havoc, not only with a person's life, but also with the lives of his or her near and dear ones.

Recognizing this, a bipartisan Senate committee has announced that it is working out ways to address the mental health crisis in the United States. Senate health committee members announced on March 7 that they are working on the Mental Health Reform Act of 2016.

"One in five adults in this country suffers from a mental illness, and nearly 60 percent aren't receiving the treatment they need. This bill will help address this crisis by ensuring our federal programs and policies incorporate proven, scientific approaches to improve care for patients," said Senate Health Committee

soon all of us will be deemed to have mental illness.  **nononono*

People can be divided into two groups:  those who know they have a psychological issue they need to address, and those who haven't yet realized they have a psychological issue they need to address.
