We live in an image conscious society, people spend numerous hours in the gym, toning muscles, flattening stomachs, and running on the treadmill.  But what about our mental health?  Even with a perfectly fit body, what is the body without a sound mind?

In the article posted on VICE, VICE Social Editor, Hanson O’Haver, discusses the common belief that many mental health issues arise in late adolescence or early adulthood.  He discussed with mental health expert, Dr. Johanna Jarcho, if this is indeed true as well as how much of the development of such conditions are genetic versus environment. 

Furthermore, the article discusses what you should and can do if and when you experience a mental health crisis.  I offer my thoughts on the article as well as share the original article for review.
