Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

There needs to be more mental health care professionals as so many people are falling through the cracks and not getting help

Yes, but it may be more complex than funding. The current collective state of mental health feels as though it may be indicative of a broader social issue tied to factors related to quality of life.

I believe that mental health research unless clinically diagnosed with mental illness is a problem that is too heavily fixated on.

No, the government should enact systems that don't drive people crazy. Look at the political "show" in Ottawa. Those are meant to be adults leading our country. They act like angry children. That's crazy.

No. Healthcare is under Provincial jurisdiction. The federal govt should not be involved at all. Cut the taxes, close the ministry, get the feds out of the province’s business entirely.

No, instead Privatize healthcare and offer incentive for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies

i dont have a problem with mental heatlh as long as they mental dont cause problems with me

Yes socialize it

We need the mentally ill medicated and not wandering the streets homeless.

Mental health issues should be led by organizations led by people who experienced this issues and overcome it but the government should fund those

Therapy and counseling should be free . A person cannot be physically healthy if they are mentally ill. Mental health care should be included in universal health care. We need to be researching mental illness more and give more funding so people who are in need get quality therapy. Diagnosing mental disorders should be free as well.

Increase both public funding and incentivize private companies to address the issue. After we drastically improve our public system then a reassessment can be done to determine an appropriate amount of funding going forward.

Yes because it's fair that everyone can get treated for mental health if they need it.

The governments must ensure mental health therapists are qualified and penalized for fraudulent treatment practices

Absolutely. I've lost far too many good friends/family to mental illness

Yes, however don’t fund gender re assignment surgeries. Or sexual identity counseling.

Leave it to the market.

Yes and there should be more financial resources diverted to housing. Less money should be spent on police services and prisons.

This does not have anything to do with me.

Yes it may help society overall

Yes, increase it progressively.

Allocate the current funds better

Yes but if it cuts spending in other areas.

No, remove all funding.

Let free market decide

I like the current system

Yes, but only for those actually willing to get help, and believe that they want to get better to improve whatever their mental health condition is in.

Yes, That would probably help doctors and other people who help with that stuff find ways to help people with mental illnesses.

I think is good where it is now

Yes the government can do this but I think private companies should be able to do this as well if they wish.

Yes if you help the sick some might get off odsp/ow and work also more family supports we need a system that strengthen our youth so they grow up healthy and capable of working

Yes it could help prevent lots of crimes that were from previous mental illnesses

i am satisfied with the current funding

No, it should be free

No because the current system is the main reason that mental health is a bigger issue than ever before. Tweak the economic system.

No, increase funding into subsidizing healthy foods, and increase funding to physical education, sleep, and life practices.

Bring back the Mental Hospitals. now all of us Guinee pigs are loose in the public. and only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies

Yes, but with other levels of government also involved.

dont bbknot

Mental health is a lie

Get Canada out of debt first

It depends on the disorder

the illuminate is everywhere

the government doesn't need to fund mental health disorders they just pump you with drugs even though there's a natural way to deal with it

No, just man up and deal with it, go to the gym or take meds.

Yes, but try to get people with mental health issues to fix their physical health as mental health and physical health are very well connected

Keep it where it's at b r o t h e r .

Yes, as long as there's money that's able to be given to provinces/territories, there has been consultation with them, and there have been standards/programs put in place to ensure efficiency of the given system.

No, keep pharmaceutical companies out of it and stop drugging so many people that don’t need it.
