With depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions steadily on the rise, 1 out of 4 people are fighting an internal battle we can't see. As more and more people go to therapy to work on their mental health, we are running into problems of not enough psychiatrists to support everyone.In my local town, it can take 6 months before you can get into a therapist, and that is just to get started with therapy.
