It's time to radically rethink mental health.
Until now, we've looked at mental health under the lens of mental illness. Treatment is sought and administered once we realize there is a problem. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the process of realizing you have an illness to finding treatment for the first time takes an average of ten years from when your symptoms start.
​
This is the equivalent of brushing your teeth only after you find a cavity.  Or not knowing what a toothbrush is until you see a dentist.
​
We know that being proactive in cultivating good health to prevent issues before they start is a more effective strategy. We've made strides in the field of nutrition and have developed systems to promote physical fitness to keep us feeling physically healthy.  

So, how can we proactively engage our mind?
