I think about how, if a family has individuals with diabetes, hypertension, the other issues, and they are taking money and time to deal with that--if, in fact, they are--they are not considering going to counseling or going to some other things about depression or other things that they may be feeling and things that may be happening within their home. It is a matter of taking care of what is the immediacy. Still, the stigma is there that your mental health is not as important as your physical health. I yield to the gentlewoman.
