Opinion: America's mental health crisis isn't new, but we need a better way to reach people [Opinion]
I mention de-stigmatization first because an effective and accessible mental health system requires a population that sees mental health as a routine aspect of overall health. We have made strides in our public discourse around mental health; athletes and other public figures who have openly discussed experiences with depression and anxiety have helped in the process of normalizing experiences that are likely to affectof the population during a lifetime.
With de-stigmatization and routine mental health check-in and referral comes the next heavy lift: providing a workforce of mental health providers at all levels to serve these needs. When an individual or family accepts the need for mental health care, they may not find a provider whom they can afford, who will speak their language and/or who will have an appointment available in any reasonable time frame.
