Source 1: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2018/mental-illnesses-by-the-numbers.shtml. My first source will outline my problem and launch me into a solution because this source is from a scientific study using statistics about how millions of people are suffering with some type of mental health illness. "Mental illnesses affect tens of millions of people in the United States and across the globe each year. Each of these individuals has a singular, compelling story that conveys an understanding of the depth of suffering. Statistics build on this foundation by helping us better understand the broader scope and impact of mental illnesses on society," (National Institute of Mental Health). This quote was using how not just the United States is struggling with a type of mental health but it would be affecting the way our society will be like in the future. Source 1 is credible because they want their goal to be helping people understand the impact mental illnesses have and that we need to take a stand and think of mental health as important like we would in other types of health. It was using more also of a statistics view from science that mental health is very serious and that it might continue to grow if we can't do anything about it. It will help me because from looking at the large numbers and statistics from the article saying how can we try to decrease those numbers over around the United States and even in parts of the globe possibly.

My second source will outline my problem and launch me to a solution because this source is using the UK as an example of how they may think that some of the other countries want to try and help mental health and trying to use many perspectives on how these may even come to solutions to my problem. They stated on the website many times about how we may feel if we have a mental health and ways of why we would be afraid of trying to get treatment for the different types of mental health illnesses that are out there. This source is credible because they have many pages of how the different types of treatment can actually help the way we feel and how people react to hearing about any type of mental health illness or mental health in general. According to one theory that they have on one of the sections on the website, it said "these fears are often reinforced by the negative (and often unrealistic)" compared to our society even when we just simply look at a celebrity or look on the TV and have not expressed much of dealing with a mental health illness. This will help me because my main purpose and point of views can relate very much to the website even though they are from the UK.

My last source will outline my problem and help launch me into a solution by the author herself using many comparisons to how important mental health illnesses are in our health. This source is credible because she uses many examples from doctors, her personal examinations of how she has seen mental health come in as a problem, and even using a TED Talk from a doctor in her comparisons. She uses in the beginning "it's like getting a broken arm and everyone trying to sign it as quickly as possible," (Pinola, Why It's So Hard to Talk About Mental Health). Also, in the sentence after that quote, she uses how when people are hearing mental health, people and are expressing it to be running away from those problems driving them away not wanting to help. This source will help me because this article relates to me a lot and I think the same way I do about my own mental health illness and how I think mental health should be perused as in a positive light.
