Our mental health is probably the most fragile and delicate aspect in our make-up. Behind every smile can be a world of untold hurt and despair. We have a duty to not only ourselves and our own mental health, but to those around us who might not be able to help themselves. Encouraging, supporting and practicing mental health care is something that needs to be a constant priority. If you feel it, try to help it.
