Mental health is extremely important. So why don't we take care of it that much? Excellent question! The world of therapy and counseling can seem scary. Most people have never been to some form of mental health counseling. Therapists can be extremely helpful for people recovering from illnesses and disorders, but we hardly ever think of them for everyday life. However, as you'll see in the video, that's just plain wrong. Find out why you, too, need a therapist.
