So since the democrats have peed in the bed for 40 years, we should all have to sleep on plastic sheets?
Sorry, but mental health policy and its failings is NOT just the fault of “Democrats”... and its that kind of crap that is why it continues....
Wake the hell up, BOTH parties have failed this nation, particularly when it comes to mental health policies.
Democrats with their overly liberal desires to deinstitutionalize in misguided compassion and republicans for their stupid belief that pills can solve anything and you can empty the institutions just to save money..
Both parties own this mess!! IF you think otherwise you are blinded by partisan propaganda.
The number of people institutionalized today is at or lower than it was in the 1950s even though the population is nearly 3 times the size!
This isn’t one party screwing up, its the BOTH... Voters, unless they have a relative who is mentally ill, don’t care about mental health policy, so guess where money and services are cut??? Why? Because NO ONE CARES... Until of course they have to come face to face with the mess they create.. which is still small, but keeps growing every year.
THE MENTAL HEALTH POLICY IN THE US IS A DISGRACE, PERIOD... AND BOTH PARTIES AND THE VOTERS ARE TO BLAME!!!!
