Reply #46: There has been a movement toward sanity in dealing with mental health [View All]

[EFerrari]

(because our "system" is the most dysfunctional piece of this) to de-stigmatize mental health issues, to train law enforcement to respond appropriately, to set up mental health courts, to rebuild our clinical facilities and to integrate all the players. Oh, and to get parity for mental health care. It's still very, very, very young but, there is movement.

It's not clear that this movement will survive this sh!tstorm of an economy that Junior has inflicted on us (Junior and his enablers, I should say). A lot of people will get dead from homelessness or suicide or preventable disease or homocides even if we manage to continue at the current pace. Many more if this issue is just swept off the table.
