Patrick J. Kennedy: “we can intervene early. We can save lives.”

we are in denial as a Nation about mental health.

I want to thank the Biden Administration. They’ve put teeth into the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.

Denial is the big issue here. And we all know growing up in families where there is alcoholism and addiction or mental illness that we don't like to talk about these things.

I appreciate this is a bipartisan process, especially on mental health, which affects every family.
