The White House is ready to turn mental health awareness into action with its participation in the second-annual Mental Health Action Day, in partnership with MTV.

First lady Dr. Jill Biden and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy led a conversation at the White House on Wednesday for the first-ever Mental Health Youth Action Forum, where they were joined by Selena Gomez and 30 mental health activists and content creators. By both sharing individual experiences with mental health and mental illness, and introducing actionable ways to be proactive about mental well-being, the group highlighted the Biden-Harris administration's priority in tackling the nation's mental health crisis. Dr. Murthy explains that the mission is two-fold.

"We have to, in parallel, work on building awareness and driving action. Both are important because without the awareness, without destigmatizing mental health, people won't come forward to talk about it, they'll be worried about being out there advocating for it. So that's why we've had to continue that work," the U.S. surgeon general tells Yahoo Life. "But there's a lot happening on the action front."

Suicide is a symptom of materialistic nihilism of the culture that leads many to despair.

Yeah, we like to see people die slowly and painful. It enlarges our coffers.

And the money from abortions we get from Medicare/Medcaid helps bunches, too.
Of course everyone has to pay up.

Mental illnesses and suicides have greatly increased due to the Biden Administration and criminal family. They are the cause, not the cure!

Hey Faux-Dr. Jill, what’s the correlation between the Diapered Dictator’s encouragement of all things transgender and the suicide rate among those who identify as transgenders?

I personally know more people who committed suicide during the COVID lockdowns than died from COVID. Very sad. The depression, loneliness and fear promulgated by the COVIDteers killed a lot of people.

Pretending that mentally ill people’s delusions are real does not help.

It’s not only painful but can be deadly.
