Obama expresses concern over gun culture in US
RICHARD SHIRO/AP Donald Trump said gun restrictions weren’t the answer. Research suggests that negative stereotypes is still a large problem when it comes to mental illness, and that stigma acts as a barrier to proper treatment – treatment that helps the almost one in four people who experience a mental health disorder live healthy and productive lives.
