Make therapy free for Teens with mental health issues.
Mental health in schools and doctors should be taken more seriously, as to some it feels as if they don't do enough. So in schools they should be taught about mental health in better detail and should offer some form of confidential therapy for those students in need.
The government should do something about it as in the younger generation there is a lot of cases of depression and anxiety, but when people are told about it, they do very little (almost nothing) to help.
