Welcome to The Receptor

In recent years, the stigma surrounding mental illness has begun to fade. At the same time, more people, both young and old, are reporting that they are struggling with depression, anxiety, and other maladies of the mind. Many have turned to therapy and medication to get by.

But mental health services have not kept pace with the surge in need, with millions of Americans unable to obtain help because of the costs of care, lack of trained professionals, and systemic barriers.

The Receptor approaches this terrain from the perspective of accountability journalism.

In each issue, we’ll bring you into the national discussion of mental health.
