The more you know! Yet another reason to consider the brain just another organ of the body that deserves the same treatment as the heart or lungs. Break down the stigma of mental health treatment. #scienceiscool #brainsmatter #brainmatters https://t.co/GmptuK2NH8 https://t.co/2IZqiuZjLK

We're reading @nytimes: "Americans with depression, bipolar disorder or other serious mental illnesses die 15 to 30 years younger than those without mental illness — a disparity larger than for race, ethnicity, geography or socioeconomic status." https://t.co/FVZLWIgVT7

A new report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows Oklahoma’s suicide rate rose 37.6 percent from 1999 to 2016.

@Ccarter1418 @MickforGovernor @ToddGLamb Agree. We have to fund mental health care and make it available to our citizens. It’s life or death.

[Nicole (they/she) @mcafee2012]

As someone with anxiety and depression, it was folks like Anthony Bourdain breaking through the stigma & talking about it that encouraged me to seek treatment. During my worst days, his storytelling is something I seek to cope. I'll greatly miss his voice. https://t.co/74I8CzpVON

[Forrest Bennett @ForrestBennett]

Depression isn’t the same for everyone. But for me - and perhaps for Bourdain - it has meant feeling everything a little more. The highs; the lows. One thing is common: the stigma. I’m talking about mine for the first time publicly because we owe it to ourselves. #talkaboutit 1/

[Cyndi Munson @CyndiMunsonOK]

If we are serious about strengthening Oklahoma’s economy, then we have to work together to ensure our workforce is well educated & healthy. Expanding health care coverage is not political, it is the right thing to do. Good work #valeg, I hope the #okleg will follow your lead. https://t.co/DgUYeTDB1b
