Psychological Disorders affect millions of people every day. Yet, they are often disorders that cannot be seen. Ex. It is hard to identify an individual passing by with a mood disorder vs. someone with a severed limb. Due to this people with these conditions often go unrecognized and without treatment. Public Awareness and Education is Necessary for Progress.
