This is an article I saw on Facebook this morning. In Australia we have this "RUOK Day" which is meant to raise awareness of mental illnesses. This sums up the problem really well - that there's no point raising awareness if the funding just isn't there to actually help people. It can even make things worse in that people might try and get help and discover how little help there really is. If this is Australia, I can only imagine how bad things are in the US..
