I'm coming forward [View all]

I've always had a degree of anxiety, but work and family recent put me over the edge. Thankfully, after what I thought was a heart attack, the people at Kaiser have really stepped up and provided a system of support through a combination of therapy and Lexapro (that's still in the process of kicking in).

Please, if you have any resources be it only friend and family, don't bottle yourself up or you'll end up like me.


AND THANK YOU, PRESIDENT OBAMA, FOR ADDING THE MENTAL HEALTH COVERAGE MANDATE TO THE ACA.
