Key takeaways:

• If you need help, or are having a mental health crisis, do not hesitate to ask for the help you need.
• Mental health is a real issue and devastates the lives of so many who don't receive treatment. Take the time to ask people how are they doing if you notice "something is off.'' Sometimes, that could be the difference between a friendly conversation, and a tragic event.
