The state might say its ok, its actually a sign of strength when you go seek help for your mental onus. Now why is it important that we you know minority Mental Health. Everyones Mental Health is very much important ally is important to kind of separate this month out specifically for minority groups. Its specifically important because as a state minorities in the Minority Community is usually a sign of weakness when someone says that you have ptsd bipolar depression anxiety, but actually especially now that were going through this pandemic covid19 youre going to see a lot more cases of people who have Mental Health disorders the the organization before is stated that one in 4 individuals had a Mental Health disorder.
