Why this petition matters
Started by Kelli C
Currently, the government funds around $228 billion to health care, but only 7% of the funds go towards mental health. Many people, especially teens have a mental illness, whether it is anxiety, depression or another type of illness. Many people have even committed suicide because of depression. Therapy does not always help people with depression, however, it is hard for mental health researchers to find a more practical way with the given amount of money.
