Opinion | Nancy Hightower: Mental health needs to be discussed by families. Keeping illness secret can be dangerous. - NBCNewsTHINK

It was only when a new therapist suggested I see a psychiatrist who specialized in bipolar disorders that I was correctly diagnosed as Bipolar II at 32. He listened to the story about my mother and how I couldn’t sleep and yet didn’t want to get out of bed.

Medication is not cure all, just as getting a cavity filled is not the end to tooth care. One must still visit the dentist, floss and brush. To manage my bipolar disorder, I must go to therapy, exercise and make sure to get enough sleep. Maybe another important way to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health is to frame this narrative as integral to supporting our overall health, rather than adjacent to it.

Doctor: I am a soldier in this battle, and I am scaredI was mentally prepared to see these cases in our hospital, but roughly two weeks ago, when I actually did -- in the context of what we know about this virus so far -- it left me changed, writes Prateek Harne, a resident physician in New York I wonder how this doc would feel in a MASH (mobile army surgical hospital) situation instead.

Worry, problems and strife: Investors fear markets not out of woods despite big rallyAfter a brutal meltdown, some investors have been wading back into U.S. stocks.

Medicines, equipment, everything is made offshore, so we will pay tremendous prices and hope we can get our needs met.
