The Breakdown - mental health care

The stigma of having a mental health issue is fading as Americans push to get people help before their struggles turn hurtful or deadly. Technology is helping make treatment more available to everyone.

Behind the funny man facade, actor Ryan Reynolds has lived an anxiety-filled life and has revealed more about it in a New York Times profile. He joins a growing list of high-profile people admitting to struggles with their mental health, including "Today" and "The Voice" host Carson Daly and NBA center/forward Kevin Love.

With the stigma of mental health issues fading, treatment is becoming more readily available. Reynolds says he used Headspace, an app that helps teach people how to meditate.
    
A virtual patient training tool could help primary care doctors better diagnose anxiety or depression. There's a national shortage of psychiatrists, so more Americans are turning to primary care physicians for help, who studies show don't always notice signs of mental health problems, likely because it's not something they get as much exposure to in training.
