Social media influencers openly discuss their diagnoses; the language of trauma and self-care has found its way into everyday conversation; topics from teen suicides to psychedelics are frequent subjects of extended consideration in major newspapers and magazines. Maybe you’ve been talking about mental health more, too — your own, your family’s. Maybe it’s not as good as it used to be. There’s a reason for all this: Over the course of the pandemic, [rates of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlDDEEP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMC8wNS9oZWFsdGgvY292aWQtZGVwcmVzc2lvbi1hbnhpZXR5Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMjA5MjAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzI0Mzgmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTA3NTc5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjIgSsKWMb35RYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

There’s no doubt that a national conversation about mental health is important and timely. But at Times Opinion, we think something has been missing from it. Mental health is a personal experience, of course, but it’s also something that is very much shaped by the world around us: our communities, our economies, our politics, our medical institutions. It’s important to remember that. That’s why today we are launching “It’s Not Just You,” [a Times Opinion series](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlDDEEP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMi8wOS8yMC9vcGluaW9uL21lbnRhbC1oZWFsdGgtYW1lcmljYS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjIwOTIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTcyNDM4Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEwNzU3OSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYyIErCljG9-UWFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) that we hope will make you think differently about mental health — and consequently, help make all of our mental health better.

Over the next month, in three more chapters, we’ll publish an essay on the fraught intersection of mental health, racism and hate crimes; a photo essay on the places people go for emotional support that aren’t therapists’ offices; an investigation into the so-called troubled teen industry and much more. That we are more interested than ever in talking about mental health is a good thing. But the goal of this project is to channel some of that energy into a conversation that puts individuals’ mental health into a broader context. We think that we can only improve our collective mental health if we recognize that the problems — and the solutions — are all of ours. In other words: It’s not just you.
