Lets Get Healthy
Keep the conversation going I say.
Physical Health Issue-You can cut your finger accidently with a knife, cut a deep gash half way into your arm or cut your arm deep to the bone.
Mental Health Issue-You are stressed daily from the amount of never ending duties that you have at work, You may have a high pressure job and lifestyle that pays very well but every part of you feels burnt out or there are days where everything is so overwhelming that it is hard to breathe even after discussing it with your boss at work who says that they are all in the same boat so just deal with it.
The physical and mental health issues that I made up are examples of varying degrees that these issues may occur. A cut finger will not result in your finger falling off immediately. But left untreated, and infection could occur and grow to be something a lot more serious. So too with mental health.
Friends and family are a great first step, but there is only so much that they can do. Go to your doctor for local referrals. "But it's not that serious" I hear you say...neither is a cold, but symptoms may persist and you see a doctor for that....so...do it.
End mental health stigma and gossip.
Ask more, learn more.
