Systemic challenges in mental health are our biggest barrier, like unequal access to care depending on where you live or how much money you have to pay for out-of-pocket care. Insufficient funding and the shortage in mental health providers further compound these issues, highlighting the necessity for collaborative efforts between healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities to create a more supportive environment where everyone can access the care and resources they need and deserve.
