The Editor’s Note Shining a light on mental health Joan Richardson

Editor-in-chief Abstract Robin Williams' death by suicide in August could be the best thing that's happened for mental health awareness in years.

And that understanding can only begin by shining the light on it and bringing discussions about mental illness into the open.
