IT DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN DRUG THERAPY. I DIDN'T SAY IT DID.

You are the one fixated on the medication aspect of this.

For the record, I never took any medication.

Plenty of other things are much more helpful in dealing with problems than drug therapy.

Some need drug therapy. Some don't.

I am thrilled that you are a strong and healthy person.

That's fantastic, but not everyone has your strength. I am a strong person also. But it helped to learn how to deal with my experience in a productive way, instead of trying to bury it.

Should someone who doesn't have your inner strength just suffer?

I don't see where it's any of the government's business, I don't see the justification for holding me up at gunpoint to pay for it, and it has the potential to do orders of magnitude more harm than good. This sounds like a worthy thing for a charity maybe. But to give that role to a coercive power like the government is asking for trouble.

Imagine Hillary Clinton with this program. And your kid, in a school controlled by her Department of Education.

Don't fool yourself - there will be literally tons of drugs involved. And for every person who is correctly diagnosed and treated who wouldn't have been otherwise, there will be ten who will be given treatment on invented diagnoses. What if they label conservatism as a mental disease? (The academic studies have already been done, FYI, and they have "proof" that conservatives are crazy - no I'm not kidding). What do you do when some Leftist teacher has your kid medicated because he refuses to believe in global warming hysteria?

If that doesn't frighten the wits out of you, I don't know what you're doing here on FR. This program is as anticonservative as they come. It's way way way too much power for the government to have over a citizen who has not committed an aggravated felony.
