The civil rights movement couldn’t do anything. Until it did. The AIDS crisis couldn’t be solved. Until it was. Mental health is the next cultural mountain in front of us. The problem feels massive—we know—but we’re determined to solve it. One person, one voice at a time. Raise yours at www.speaksout.world today. #mentalhealth #speaksout

It’s not just teens. People everywhere feel doubly trapped. First, by the disease of #depression and, secondly, by the cultural silence surrounding it. #SpeaksOut is about using your voice to overcome both. We all have a voice. Time to use it. #myposttruth #mentalhealth

It’s easy to feel trapped by #depression, #anxiety, and #mentalillness. But there is a way out: By simply speaking out. Whether to a friend, or online to your community, your voice can work wonders. Use it. #speaksout#endthesilence

Like cancer or diabetes, mental illness is a health condition. An illness. Yet, we live in a world that refuses to see that the mind is connected to the body. Those suffering with mental illness fall by the wayside. It’s outrageous. And it needs to stop. The Speaks Out movement is designed to dismantle cultural barriers that tell us to keep our mouths shut. Enough with that already. We’re not messing around anymore. We all need to start using our voices–starting with you. #speaksout #mentalhealth

Lady Gaga & Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus correctly point out that mental health currently receives less than 1% of global aid. If cancer and heart disease received the same support as mental health, we’d demand change. So what are we waiting for? Take action at speaksout.world#mentalhealth #speaksout
