Mainstream media got the message, did you?

It boggles my mind that one wants to ignore the importance of mental health. I understand the importance from my own journey and how I still need to be mindful of where I am in my life as not to be a burden to the one's I love and that love me back. Not to resist all of the joy and sometimes the pain that comes with having intimate relationships whether it's as a parent, significant other, sister, daughter, or friend. How can you take care of your physical health by seeing your family practice physican or OB-GYN yearly and not speak to a professional yearly about your mental health?

Can your body be healthy without a healthy mind? How would you function daily, completes the tasks and duties that is required of you?

Well, I am glad to see that more mainstream media outlets are embracing the importance of mental health!

PBS is running a series called "The Emotional Life". Kathryn Powers, Director of the Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (a federal agency) wrote an compelling article in the Huffington Post about the importance of no longer ignoring your mental health.
