Millennials and Gen-Z we’ve seen the devastating effects of mental illness firsthand. That’s why we’re calling on Democrats to take this issue seriously and make it a top priority.

First mental illness affects a huge percentage of the population, including many of our friends, family members, and even ourselves. It’s time for politicians to acknowledge the impact that mental illness has on our society and take concrete steps to address it.

Additionally, the mental health system in the United States is in dire need of reform. From the shortage of mental health providers to the lack of access to care, the current system is failing millions of Americans. Democrats must commit to fixing this broken system and ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need.

Mental illness has a profound impact on physical health. People with mental illness are more likely to suffer from chronic physical conditions, and conversely, people with physical illnesses are more likely to develop mental health problems. Democrats must understand that addressing mental health is not only a moral obligation, but also a critical component of achieving better health outcomes for all.

Addressing mental health is not just a health issue, it’s also an economic issue. Mental illness can lead to lost productivity, increased healthcare costs, and even homelessness. Democrats must understand that investing in mental health is not only the right thing to do, it’s also the smart thing to do for our economy.

Mental illness is a critical issue that Democrats must take seriously. From the profound impact it has on individuals and families, to the broader economic and social implications, mental health must be a top priority for anyone who cares about building a better future for all.
