One of the major problems why so many people suffer from mental health is that they do not express their problem.

People with mental illness are therefore unable to receive the appropriate treatment they need. to help them (Gouthro, 2009, p. 669).

Additional research is needed on mental health to improve the professional practice of nurses entering the mental health field. Improving education and awareness can break down this barrier that prevents people with mental illnesses from opening up and taking psychiatric courses.
