A call for better mental health services around the world
Today is World Mental Health Day, and the World Health Organization (WHO) is calling on all nations to focus on mental health and ramp up efforts to prevent suicide. According to a press release, approximately 873,000 people die of suicide each year. The release also states that 450 million are at any time affected by mental, neurological or behavioral problems, a rate that is steadily rising.

I agree. I wish there was better coordination amongst the mental health community with respect to resources that are available. I belongto a support group for adults with ADD/ADHD in nYC. We have grown substancially in the last year. Our website:
