Most problems are money related. Health care professionals can't solve that issue.
Part of the problem with patients getting care is providers that have unreasonable requirements. The facility less than a mile from my house requires patients to do intake at absurd times in the morning. Then if the patient jumps through enough hoops and is accepted for treatment, they have mandatory group therapy. As I understand it, anyone who does not attend gets their meds or even their care cut off. The last time I attempted to reason with them, the crisis nurse caused a severe anxiety attack I had to sleep off. The previous provider had signs up talking about the value of individual care (and actively interfered with disability applications.) This provider has a my way or the highway policy with no regard for the patients. That's not reasonable.
