As a physician, I not only deal with the physical health of my patients, but also the mental health of my patients. And we know that in this country right now, people are struggling with mental health issues like never before. In fact, recently the surgeon general issued a report that said nearly half of all parents are struggling with their mental health. They're so stressed out they can't even get through the day.
