Trump has done it again. The sad thing is, no one is even surprised by his offensive comments anymore. However, some still do hit closer to home for some people than others. His recent comment about mental illness among veterans seems to have been one of those that proved particularly offensive.

To be fair, the media has misquoted the incident. Trump did not literally say that veterans commit suicide because they can't handle it. That's not the whole story.

"When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it but a lot of people can't handle it. They see horror stories, they see events you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it."

While the real quote is not as bad as the distilled version, Trump's words still come from a place of ignorance and stigma. Clinton, on the other hand, has recently released a pages long agenda on mental health.

As I've said before, Clinton has never been the first choice of many millennial Democrats. But as far as a second choice goes, she isn't bad. She's liberal, has a plan to tackle student debt, and now has a plan to tackle mental illness.

Hillary Clinton pays attention to the issues United States citizens are actually facing. And mental illness, unfortunately, is one of those issues. The consensus seems to be that mental illness is on the rise. The rates may be inflated due to a lack of data from previous generations, or thanks to better modern diagnoses.

Regardless of whether the rates are up or not, though, nearly a fifth of all adults in the U.S. (that's 40 million people) suffer from some sort of mental illness. And thanks to the stigma still being furthered by people like Trump, many aren't getting the help they need.

Clinton's plan focuses on early diagnosis and intervention, creating federal support for suicide prevention, enforcing mental health parity, and more. And her support for people dealing with mental health problems is nothing new. Many have accused Clinton of changing her stance on key issues due to popular consensus. And maybe that's true about some things. But it's not true about this one. In 2008, Clinton co-sponsored the Mental Health Parity & Addiction Equity Act. So this is not a new cause for her.

As someone who has seen mental illness in family members and friends, I know the kind of havoc it can reek on someone's life. I know how stigmatized it still is. And I know that Trump isn't going to help us leave that age-old stigma in the past, where it belongs.

Meanwhile, "Hillary is committed to... ensuring that mental health is treated like the national priority it is." Her agenda on mental illness is just one more way that Clinton is looking out for the citizens she'll represent. This is what we should be looking for in a candidate. A candidate that will look out for everyone.
