And this is all of the stuff on "mental" I could find in a search of H.R.5006:

For carrying out section 301 and title IV of the Public Health Service Act with respect to mental health, $1,420,609,000.

[...]

The following is a list of Republicans who voted against the Ron Paul
Amendment (Amendment to stop funding for "New Freedom Initiative"
universal mental screening). You'll see a list of no-votes below it.

All of the Democrats were "noes" or no-votes, except one who voted in
favor of Ron Paul's Amendment, Taylor (MS).

...first, the "noes" (against Amendment to stop funding for "New Freedom
Initiative," which seeks to eventually bring universal mental screenings,
which will result in many new prescriptions for psychiatric medications
for children). These are the bad guys, folks, and so are those on the list
