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."

That is sad. The forces behind this plandemic are demonic in their schemes as proven by the outcomes.

I’m reminded of the theme song for M.A.S.H.

The deception of the devil, promising relief via self-murder while in reality (at least in most every case) the real suffering has just begun. And does not end. Yet if we fostered this, and or refused to help, we also bear guilt.

People need purpose.

Our current leadership destroys it.

Gee...maybe this is part of the fallout from the Rat Party’s “two weeks to flatten the curve” policy of February 2020.

Legalize it.

Wonder what difference legalizing it would make. I doubt those deciding to “off” themselves care if it’s illegal.
