RE: A Growing Mental Health Crisis

in #health6 years ago

There's some pretty obvious reasons that might be impacting folks, and not all of them are that those folks are ill. Society is ill, and people are social animals. I am pretty confident that it is the increasing destabilization of society that leaves folks feeling they are deranged, when it is the world around them that is broken.

There are also other reasons to not seek mental health providers help besides stigma. For example, millions of people were denied their inalienable right to purchase a firearm last year because of mental health diagnoses, the second highest reason for denials reported by the FBI - ahead of criminal convictions.

In a sick world, the sane are grievously injured.

Thanks!
