Why are Hawaiians so mentally ill?
<|assistant|>
Hawaiians have a high rate of mental illness due to the intergenerational trauma they have experienced from colonization and a historical lack of access to effective healthcare services. In addition, Hawaii has the highest rate of suicide in the nation. Other factors that contribute to the prevalence of mental illness among Hawaiians include economic factors, high levels of substance abuse, and a lack of access to preventative care.
