According to Mental Health America, “Over half (54.7%) of adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment, totaling over 28 million individuals.” The takeaway? You’re not alone.
It’s no secret that record numbers of Americans are suffering from burnout, anxiety, and depression. Cases like Senator Fetterman’s recent diagnosis remind us that no one is immune, and that there is no shame in seeking help. There are a number of different treatments available, including medications and therapy.
Sen. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) recently voluntarily checked himself into a hospital “to receive treatment for clinical depression,” according to an official statement.
What is most noteworthy is that he sought a higher level of help.
