Why do we overlook mental health so much? It’s literally checking on the brain…

…..the brain thats ultimately (along with the heart) keeps us alive.

Mental Health is so overlooked that many don’t realize it’s a problem, a serious one at that. A while ago, via Instagram, I started doing ‘Mental Health Checks’ on my story because I feel like we don’t check on each other’s mental wellbeing enough. Asking someone, “How are you?” and “How are you, mentally?”, can yield two different responses. Simply asking, “How are you?” typically regenerates an answer based off of one’s physical wellbeing, not always their overall and/mental.

I want to take dedicate a place in this open journal to ask you all:

How are you, mentally?

I’ll answer first in the comments.
