Mental Health

Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue?
What do you want to know about this issue?
Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.

1. I have a pretty good background on this issue. I have dealt with people in BVHS with mental health issues, it runs in my family, and I also have some illnesses. 

2. How many have these issues, treatment and lack thereof, awareness, and different types of illnesses.

3. I chose this issue because I have seen how mental illness has affected the lives of me, my friends, and my family. It is an epidemic that doesn't have much awareness, and there is a large lack of understanding. Most people don't understand it, and if it affects someone, their life will be changed forever and it will be a difficult challenge. It is also is very difficult to treat in teenagers and young adults, because some anti-anxiety/ antidepressants make the illness worse, not better.
