"Navigating help for behavioral health can be complex. In physical medicine, things are clearer cut. If you broke your ankle, you can't walk. It hurts like heck. You go to the emergency room. But if you have a broken heart, it's invisible. It's inside. Nobody knows, unless you say something, and where do you go for a broken heart?
