This is so sad... and so gross

19. whole country needs mental health care access

It is so difficult to obtain care. Insurance is limited and if there is no insurance, too bad unless there is an organization that will help. The changes made to the mental health system were an attempt to solve problems of warehousing people and keeping them on drugs and incapacitated. We need more fixes and soon.

A country that freely arms its citizens - mentally ill or not - we all need to have a more peaceful society that may be achieved through better mental health care.

As it is now, a severely ill person must meet many legal criteria before help is enforced. Care for those without funds is really moving them through the system as quickly as possible. For those who cannot take care of themselves, the street becomes home until they harm someone. Living on the streets is not considered "harm to self."
