Mental Illness affects 1 in 5 Canadians (and 1 in 6 Americans) in any given year, but more than half of these people will never seek help from a health professional.
Seeking support from a mental health professional such as a psychologist or a psychiatrist has many proven benefits, but in reality, only a small percentage of people do this. The main barriers to accessing treatment are cost, availability, stigma, and above-all: shame.
