October 6-12 National Mental Illness Awareness Week. It's important to remember that this week, we focus on people with mental ILLNESS. That's the minority of people. They are sick with a mental illness.

Too often, this concept blends with mental health and they just aren't the same. While mental health, which everyone has, is important, mental illness deserves to be individuated and treated differently, as its impacts are wildly different.
