The government should fund research into appropriate treatments.
@9HXZTXM1yr1Y
There needs to be more mental health care professionals as so many people are falling through the cracks and not getting help
@9FGPSTV1yr1Y
We need the mentally ill medicated and not wandering the streets homeless.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
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.
@9F5FC8S 1yr1Y
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.
@9VPJ7SW4mos4MO
We don't have enough mental health practitioners. I think the government should be offering financial help or rebates or something to people who want to go to university to train in this field.
@9JQZ9ZW1yr1Y
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.
@9HM98WN1yr1Y
I believe that mental health research unless clinically diagnosed with mental illness is a problem that is too heavily fixated on.
