Takes one to know one.
well seeing as homosexuality and cross dressing is being promoted ten I suggest they address that mental illness too.
Yes, the liberals in the Nation all need professional help.
Oh yes. Since every single workplace shooter, school shooter or nutcase drowning their own children is already getting “treatment” we sure need to see even more of it.
They should look to their own mental health first.
Most of those people are insane.
Beat me to it...
This won’t be about addressing the lack of care facilities, it’ll be about “detecting undiagnosed illness” through all kinds of government overreach into family healthcare and “reporting” from all kinds of agencies and organizations that are fundamentally unqualified to make such judgements (schools, tax offices, police, etc), as well as expanding the requirements (and the “warning signs”) for traditional reporting sources like the VA and CPS, and likely excluding systems like the welfare arms of Social Services to avoid “stigmatization”.
Not insane but maliciously devoted to their own personal money, perks and reelection.
Fedgov is the source of most folks stress.
Are you kidding? This will fix everything, and to think all this time all we needed was another senate committee./s
Social Security and VA think you should be an indentured servant and not get paid to deal with a crazy person...no matter how much time or how much of a burden it is on you.
Let me tell you ....I refused to be the Rep Payee for Social Security money and there is no local Rep Payee available - so the crazy person just keeps squandering the money.
There are a lot of holes in the system that need to be addressed.
The last thing we need to address mental health in this country is for the loony tunes in Congress getting involved.
IMO we should be extremely alarmed by this process. Question on gun permit application - have you or any member of your family ever been to see a mental health specialist? Yes - No gun for you.
Could include couples counseling, family psychotherapy, etc. The American Psychological Association has already contributed an overwhelming amount to the destruction of our healthcare through their lobbying to have mental health treated as any other diagnosis. This should be squashed in committee.
That Too.
Oh Lord, there first stop might be HERE!!! Oh no!
“Fedgov is the source of most folks stress.”
The Fedgov beatings shall continue until morale improves!
[Mental health problems can wreak havoc...]
Considering this crap is coming out of the Congressional Mental Institution of America you can take everything they come as pure lunacy.
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate mental healthcare issues. So before the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate can draft mental healthcare legislation, it must first do the following.
The Senate must lead Congress to propose a mental healthcare amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify the amendment then the feds will have the power to address mental healthcare issues.
But also note that the states are not obligated to ratify any proposed amendment.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.
Again, regulating, taxing and spending for intrastate mental healthcare purposes without having the express constitutional authority to do so an example of such overreach.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Somebody needs to get involved. I am on the front line of the holes in the system.
It is one thing to be responsible for your parents or your siblings or your children.
But when a distant relative has no one and is batshit crazy - and there isn’t even a local guardian office to take over guardianship - there is a problem.
Social Security believe you must put your own mental health at risk and your personal safety at risk to help a distant relative as it is your moral obligation and you must do it for free.
They can KMA
