How Mental Health Awareness & Gun Control Are Related. Which Issue Is More Important?

Mental health issues are highly prevalent in America, affecting millions of people every year. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), an estimated 51.5 million adults in the United States, or 1 in 5, experienced mental illness in 2019. This includes conditions such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance use disorders.

Despite the high prevalence of mental health issues, access to reliable and effective treatment remains a challenge for many Americans. In some cases, people may not seek treatment due to stigma, lack of awareness about available resources, or lack of insurance coverage. Even for those who do seek treatment, finding a provider who is knowledgeable about their condition and who offers evidence-based treatments can be a challenge.
