I really enjoyed this video from @TheLancet. “When it comes to mental health, all countries are developing countries.” That really stood out to me. Lived experiences👂are essential to stopping #stigma and improving #mentalhealth outcomes. 💪youtu.be/KoFSKuDCXbw via @YouTube

@cjsewall9 I’m sorry to hear about the pain. :( Here is a bad joke for you… After an unsuccessful harvest, why did the farmer decide to try a career in music? Because he had a ton of sick beets.
