How can we make, our mental health care system better?Do you see any problems with our system that can be fixed? Seems to me we drug em up and ship em out. Without any great care being put on their mental state - as far as therapy is concerned. Many do not like taking the drugs because of the side effects. But lets not kid ourselves perhaps technology is not advanced enough to deal with that issue. State laws mandate that an adulut patient can not be unwillingly admitted to a mental ward, if he is not a risk to others or himself. Moods change day by day drastically especially if there not on there meds, which makes this process to limited and at times to late. Then we have the problem of many health care facilities being shut down. Consequently, the criminally insane are thrown into jail were real treatment is limitied (but drugs are plentiful). Economically, Socially, etc.... these challenges are not easy to overcome. I don`t have any idea on how we can begin to solve some of these problems. Do you?

First get rid of the term "its just a bump in the road" "it will get better" "hang in there, it dont last forever" (reference to suicide). Most people just wannna talk...we give the wrong answers to the wrong questions....I think that we do not counsel to get to the root of the matter..we treat the symptoms not the cause..need to address the cause. Meds may work for a while but we need good counsel. Christian beliefs are very positive and should be included in baby steps like anything else (sometime)
