(CNSNews.com) - First lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., that her husband, President Barack Obama believes strongly that getting support and treatment for a mental health issue isnt a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength.
Its time to tell everyone whos dealing with a mental health issue that theyre not alone, and that getting support and treatment isnt a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength, said Mrs. Obama. Thats something that my husband believes strongly as president, because in this country when you're fighting an illness whether thats mental or physical you should be able to get the help you need, end of story.
Thats why the Affordable Care Act expands mental health and substance abuse benefits and parity protections for roughly 60 million Americans, and it requires new plans to cover things like depression screenings for adults and behavioral assessments for kids, she said.

They have no right or expertise to tell anyone anything!
2 long years. (I hope only 2)
In that case, he absolutely should do it.
I wish all homosexuals felt this way.
Is she trying to tell us something here?
Some joke do INDEED write themselves : )
So why hasn’t he done it yet?
A) Get mental health help.
B) Be banned from firearms possession.
C) PROFIT!
"Why are you the first President in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually every record and document about your past?"
Indeed, if the MSM wasn't so corrupt, they should have asked this question almost a decade ago.
How long until the left declares dissent a mental problem requiring institutionalization, like the soviets did?
ANd if you get any treatment for mental health and happen to own a legal firearm, the swat team will be busting in your door to shoot your dog and take your guns away for LIFE.
I never thought he’d admit it.
He also believes that getting your **** chopped off if you’ve developed a liking for women’s clothing is a sign of strength.
Psychopaths can't be cured.Psychopaths don't *want* to be cured.
Think about it.
They're hard-wired into the US political landscape.
There is TOOOOOO much ($$$) at stake for them to give up, for you to expect that they'll just walk away, like truly classy and unselfish, previous occupants of the WH have done. (Of course, that's not counting Bill & Evita or Dumba$# Carter)
No-these media whores will NEVER STFU and go away. They will be speaking on college campuses, appearing on Sunday morning news shows, (and ALL others) and they'll be in our faces F O R E V E R!!!!
Get used to it.
Ha!!
Gotcha Moochie.
What’s the old joke?
“You would have to be crazy to see a psychiatrist.”
Yup. “We will start rounding you up for extended visits to mental health camps soon.”
