Considering what my best friend had to go thru back in the 80's to get his vietnam vet brother put into a mental hospital, I'd say this is a move in the right direction.
The brother developed schizophrenia and despite all the attempts by my friend to get the brother help, it wasn't until winter was coming on and the brother was still living on a beach in northern Michigan that he was able to get the local judge to declare the brother incompetent and sent to the state hospital in Traverse City........
Mental illness is not an easy diagnosis and virtually every person who suffers from it is a seperate case. There is no easy answer to the problem nor will there ever be a blanket solution.........
I see what you’re saying. I would say the abuse can go in either direction: its hard to get real mental health counseling, treatment or therapies for people who are clearly sick and suffering; and all-to-easy to “diagnose” social and political dissent as mental illness, as in the widespread and well-documented, and massive apparatus of Soviet psychiatric abuse.
