I absolutely agree. It's maintenance. You get a physical once a year, you should get a “mental” at least that often.

To know anything about Ron Artest is to know that he is a bit out there. For him as an individual to be seeing someone is not a surprise at all, neither is it a surprise for him to say so. That's just Ron Ron.

[...] Bassey Ikpi on Ron Artest’s shout-out to his therapist after the Lakers clinched the title yesterday: Shouldn’t this man be praised for getting the help that he obviously needed? Why is he being mocked and made the brunt of jokes? Was the shout out unexpected? Yes. But it should not be shamed. The amount of courage and bravery it takes to admit that you need mental health assistance and to get it is incredible. It’s no easy feat. Black men, especially, are the least likely to seek treatment for mental illness. Does this mean that they are the least likely to have a mental illness in their lifetime? [...]
