Every year, 42.5 million of the adult US population suffer from mental illness. When living with a mental illness or caring for an individual diagnosed with mental illness, having access to accurate and reliable information is key. There is a need for technology that allows patients, caretakers, and advocates to gain greater control of their situation. Information is power while lack thereof, leaves a sense of being powerless no matter the age, disorder, or situation. This technology already exists and benefits patients with physical illness, so isn’t it time for patients with mental illness to have similar benefits?
