I've never heard a politician even talk about funding public mental health. But they'll talk about crime bills all day.
The amount of discrimination against mental health is amazing. No wonder why America is still bigoted.
Because no one cares
Really? This lady was not in a psychiatric hospital. There is still shock therapy. Yes, there is still catatonic patients too. Obviously the narrator is uneducated.
the Great Dr alamale on youtube healed After I have been diagnosed with the
Herpes VIRUS for the passed 5yesrs, i was given so
many health prescription and advice with no
improvement, I was totally lost
The reality of mental healthcare in America is having to search for help by which doctors accept your insurance and then emailing them back and forth to see if they are actually covered under it or just out of network. Then having every place you reach out to replying with "we're too busy sorry"
"Secret scripture" is a better movie
D GREETINGS! TO YALL. The Doctors Said Herpes Virus do not have a medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes is not a special virus; your immune system has the power to fight it back but because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body. But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body within just 14days without damaging any of your cells. Natural herbs kills the bad cells carrying the herpes virus totally! within just 14 days. I am not a medical doctor but i get cured from a herbal doctor who name is Dr abumere with his natural herbal medicine within just 14 days and his medicine is% 100 safe and it has no side effects. A lot of people have been cured of herpes with his herbal medicine.for more info contact Dr abumere via doctorabumrer6@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2349021975055
I say it all the time. If a person is considered only a danger to themselves should not be forced into mental hospitals. Only the ones that are considered to be a danger to others. Let the ones that actually want help get the abuse and forced drugging leave the ones that want to die alone
It can be very hard on families. Helplines everywhere but seemingly little actual help for people who won’t help themselves but aren’t viciously violent until a person ends up in jail… smh
Totally. As ex 33yr career Psych Nurse, I can testify that it is only getting worse. Fundings continued to get cut after this was made. My Disabled Bipolar Son is trapped in Private Pay Prison Systems now after attempting to discontinue Electroconvulsive Therapy Shock Treatments in 2 back to back fiasco Psych Hospital admits. 2 Mentally Ill people were shot in my neighborhood in the last 2 months, possibly more. I can only speak for Sarasota, #1 Favorite Retirement spot & biggest Realty Sales Community in America right now (Lakewood Ranch Communities) & Manatee County next door. I worked in most Psych Hospital Systems in these 2 privileged counties & how we treat the "Mentally Ill" is USA is horrendous, imo. I am sorry for assisting the Predators. Good therapists exist but there are many con artists to sift through first, in my experience.
How does this only have 64k views?!?!
Dr Igudia on YouTube medication really works and cure diabetes disease, I’m go grateful to have come across him on YouTube in curing my Diabetes disease with his herbs medication
I can only recommend Dr IGUDIA on his YouTube channel for Diabetes disease cure because I have used his herbs medication and it cures my diabetes type 2 and I’m finally free from this deadly disease
Dr IGUDIA on YouTube have really made me believe in his herbs medication after using his herbs I ordered from him in curing my Diabetes disease
I never believe I could get rid of my Diabetes disease not until I came across Dr IGUDIA YouTube channel and after using his herbs medication that was the end of my Diabetes disease
I live on the west coast of Canada where there are services available, mostly because of the fentanyl drug crisis we are having, shelters, temp housing, permanent housing, and rehab services, but i still think this is still not working, they run the places on a come and go as you please which usually means they usually only go out to score drugs or the dealers come to these places and smuggle the fentanyl in, so at these government run places places they still overdose and some die, and that's the good points, other drug addicted street people, refuse all forms of service other that clean needles and safe injection centers, and keep overdosing again and again until it finally kills them, Despite the millions spent to help them the number of addicts contunues to grow as does the number of deaths from fentanyl, each year the death rate exceed the figures from the previous year, most as just way to sick from fentanyl, and I have yet to hear a news story about a single person getting clean from fentanyl.
My point is all services for them are voluntary and they are failing badly, because they are so completely addicted they refuse to cooperate, and 9 times out of 10 they will chose death over rehab because the drug it that strong, the only real way to stop them from using and off the street is to force them into rooms with locked doors "institutions" but as the video said those places were closed down ages ago, and record numbers of street people in B.C are dying every day because of it….
These people need help. Folks don't see it on the outside sometimes, but mental illness is painful. People are suffering and have little and insufficient care available.
People know exactly what type of help that the "mentally ill" need, they always have and they refuse to give us that help because they'd rather have easy jobs getting paid to do nothing where they have large amounts of power over other people that couldn't possibly defend themselves by demanding reform.
It's been a crisis since the 1970's.
The country itself is a mental illness with their imperialism.
Mental health ummm how about over all health from a slavery created system that never died but yet we still living it 24/7….USA God help US
Its still bad and scary in those mental hospitals. They just pump you full of drugs and scare yoh and take your money and ghost you untill you break again.
Mental hospitals are still incredibly inhumane institutions with no mechanisms to hold them accountable. CARF is a joke. Patients are routinely over medicated and have to live with long-term side effects. They do this because an overmedicated patient is incapable of advocating for himself. Patients are routinely invalidated and their accounts are considered unreliable. They don't care about you. Remember that.
America is a trash country, it is known to elect scum like Reagan, Nixon, Bush, and known for cutting social services to line up the pockets of the wealthy.

People with mental health issues ( delusions and paranoia) don’t think they need help because that’s part of the illness. Hospitals, police no one will help them unless they ask for it. There has to be proof they intend to harm themselves or others. They have a “right” to have a conversation with the guy on the tv. Can’t take their rights away. So they get no help an end up on the streets or in jail!
Yes. We should have a conversation. Here’s me starting it. Mental illness is real, BUT not everything called mental illness is that. NO ONE wants to talk about SIN. REPENTANCE. SPIRITUAL issues. That’s just not a cool world view.
Much of humanity’s issues are spiritual. We are spirit/pneuma, soul/pshuche and body/soma. The soul (mind, will and emotions) are only a PART of who we are and psychology only wants to see people healed by approaching the SOUL’S issues. It’s a backwards approach.
Modern psychology is not really the answer for mental illness. It’s the bandaid. The true problem is not being addressed. We are having an agenda pushed on us to EMBRACE wrong behavior so that perpetrators can feel better about their bad behavior.
My little granddaughter has heard so much of this crap at 6 years old, she one day told me she was bi-phobic. LOL. I had to laugh. But she got that from all the excuses her very bad mother has said to her. No. She is just a bad person who needs to quit being dishonest (stealing, cheating and lying).
Sorry. I’m just not in a very sympathetic mood this morning for a world that has gone quite mad and making excuses for it’s behavior.
Meanwhile, to the truly struggling my prayers go up.
its horrible how many mentally ill people dont need psych meds and are not forced to take them at the age of 18 or younger but since they can not survive on the little amount of money they get on ssi they are forced to go to the psych hospital and forced to take dangerous psych meds in order to get more financial help so they can survive financially example section 8
my worst nightmare is when i found out how severly sick in the head and dangerous many so called normal americans truly are
i was around many mentally ill americans i wasx 100 percent safe the many so called normal americans victimized me and caused me severe harm and put me in danger they also put my friends in danger
i knew several mentally ill people who never took psych meds adn never needed psych meds and lived to be in their 70s and 80s
it sickenning a mentally ill person is givin ssi which the government puprosely gives them not enough money to live on if they want to get more financial help so they can survive they are forced to go to the hospital and say they are suicidal and forced to take dangerous psych meds many of them dont need in order to get more financial help secetion 8 resident programs this is very very wrong
schizophrnia is not severe i knew a man with schozophrenia he never took psych meds he worked all his life and he lived to 90 years old i was never stupid enough to fall for societys lies about teh mentally ill
Lack of help leads to drug use to cope bc the person doesn’t know what’s wrong and many don’t have access to help. Even those on Medicaid are only able to get care from those willing to take a tenth of the patients. Why would good DR’s take much less money? Today more than ever with all the craziness in the US you wld think the government wld care but they are too busy gaslighting us and one side totally blocking any type of help unless it’s to take away health care like abortion. If they believe in pro life then why don’t they fund children in foster care and parents who can’t afford to feed themselves much less a child. The last thing on the list seems to be mental health but they somehow believe we all should have guns. I’m starting to believe that this current democracy as it is, will fall. Maybe that’s the only way ppl will finally grow understanding and grow a heart. When we are all in the same horrible bucket we have brought upon ourselves then maybe we will agree to start improving instead of fighting.
More like "How the mental care system is broken."
They get millions. Reform coming soon
So I'm doing my homework on mental illness and all the things you saying are true I'm in the Pearland Texas area anyhow would be appreciated
People are crazy, let's ban guns.
This why we need Medicare for all
It is much worse today since the Covid-19 pandemic 😷
Thanks to that fool Reagan for messing up this country. Hope Reagan is not resting in peace at all and is in a stressful hellish place.
I hope Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a poor blackmail mentally unstable person on the streets of Washington DC. He should suffer for cutting mental healthcare.
I have worse news for you: those who are not violent die by silent sucide. You find them sarved in their homes, not taking medication they are even in supply of because they cannot take it anymore (they need care and serious attentition). These people do not appear on shit like tiktok, insta or facebook.
Medics play such a bad role these days: instead of helping people they make money by "supporting" someone on his sick way to become a "black alien".
Medical knowledge is now used to multilate people?
On todays show let us talk to Dr. Joe Maengele from Germany. He was pioneering to turn medical experience into ideology. Let's welcome him with a warm applause.
