Although mental health seems like a private or personal issue, you have rights regarding your health, happiness, and advocating for change. Part of the constitution preamble states one of the primary necessities for our union is to, “promote the general Welfare”. This means the government should act for the good and well-being of all citizens, including happiness, health, and overall welfare. The Declaration of Independence also says that one of our unalienable rights is the pursuit of happiness. The government can support everyone in their mental health if there is an issue that is harming the well-being of the people.
