YouTube video by Andy Neary arguing that mental health is a national crisis the U.S. government refuses to solve. The speaker highlights real-world access barriers: many people delay seeking help for around a decade, employer/HR channels are stigmatized or avoided, short employer-provided benefits (example: three therapy sessions) are insufficient for long-term trauma, and high copays/deductibles prevent continuation of care.

The national alliance of Mental Illness. They've talked about how sometimes people will delay 10 years before even seeking help for the first time. So they've been struggling for 10, 11 decades, entire decade. Wow. And then they're like, you know what? I'm ready. But they don't want to go to HR to find out how to get access to the benefit that would help them. So they continue to struggle in silence. Or. Or they do, and they get access to something that gives them three sessions, but that's maybe 40 years of trauma that they need to unbundle, and they don't. They can't afford the CO pay or the deductible that they face once those three sessions are up and they have to go into their insurance.
