One In Five…

A very important message from Anna Quon—critically-acclaimed debut novelist:
“Hi people,
One in five people will experience a mental illness every year. Yes, that’s roughly 200,000 Nova Scotians! The system to help these people and their loved ones is not working. And currently our government has no strategy to improve things.
Take a moment. Visit www.oneinfive.ca to join the growing number of Nova Scotians calling for a better mental health care system in Nova Scotia.
For those of you out of province, I still recommend you check out the site—it’s very cool, and the 1 in 5 stat applies across the country and the world.
Anna”

There are many of us who have at least suffered some mental trauma and I have myself. I still at times get depressed because of difficulties I have with overall health issues and no where to turn for real help. I do realize doctors can’t always fix things that are broken or have been damaged through time, aging, and deterioration due to stress on bones and muscles in the human body. I just wish they would try a new procedure once in a while so I would know it is not because I am being discriminated against because of my stature in life.
