Well said. More investment in preventative measures including educating in the school system about how to properly care for your brain- i.e the importance of meditation, exercise, sunshine, engaging in fun activities, hikes, etc. Our society focuses way too much on "fixing" something after its gone awry rather than using some preventative steps. And way too often those "fixes" aren't effective and can cause more issues.

That’s America for you, we don’t care about or fix things until a catastrophic failure (take for example; COVID, the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, I could go on and on but I’ll stop here). I love this country but procrastination and neglecting issues until they’re big problems is probably one of the worst characteristics we have as a nation.
