The push to promote the importance of mental health is past due. The neglect, especially amongst black males, has been devastating and has corrupted black families for generations. Following this lack of concern for mental health, many fall victim to corresponding aberrant behaviors due to this neglect. Many people don’t provide a maintenance package to ensure the safeguards surrounding the negative dynamics associated with ill-sighted mental conditions. This neglect places those victimized in a vacuum that sucks the life of any viable intent to act otherwise.
Therefore, the deprivation of sound mental health of so many is ignored because the behavior acted upon so often becomes a habit, and no one takes the time to point out the disparity. If any mental challenge travels the path of avoidance, the condition only worsens. 
In many instances, my clients who seek guidance either fall off their therapeutic regimen or refuse to submit to the daily responsibility of understanding their condition to feel better by challenging their behaviors. Trauma, brought on by a mental imbalance, never goes away, which means that continuing to heal requires the same attention to the questionable behavior. Often neglected, the sanctity of mental health can deprive you of your happiness and contentment. As this process of mal-content moves forward, people around you become weary and question your stability while adding to their problems. The surface unrest creates more confusion and utter chaos within the household forcing couples to separate or divorce. As the aberrant behavior manifests, marriages fail, and any other formidable relationship until changes to correct the imbalance and indifference meet common ground. So, the answer comes from the individual deciding to address your problems. As problems travel the road of regret, take a long look at yourself to determine how much of a problem you bring to the marriage table. Change must happen from within that eliminates unfair bias and more of a binding agreement to make your marriage worthy of merit.
