bipolar thread: how Trump can fix America's mental health crisis but also stop opioid addiction

[basquebromance]

let me begin by offering this thought: someone who smokes could be considered to be of weak mental health.

half of all US children, 4 million folks, diagnosed with mental health probs dont receive treatment. this varies greatly from state to state. in North Carolina, 70 percent of children are untreated.

State-level policy, and perhaps even federal policy, must be reformed in order to make mental healthcare and counseling more accessible to our youth, before their problems are magnified and expressed in adulthood

as for opioids, developing non-addictive painkillers is the holy grail of solving opioid addiction!

Reasonable policies. America is crap about stuff like that.

Los Angeles was prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new jail. Plans were in motion. And they’ve scrapped it because organizers organized. This is a MAJOR victory. now they're building a mental health hospital. the PRESSURE of my thread worked!

THE PRESSURE OF MY THREAD WORKED!

Mental health "problems" are grossly over-diagnosed....There's a big difference between neurotic behavior and real mental dysfunction.

Is disagree that if you smoke, it means you have weak mental health. Why would one want to set the bar at that?

an estimated 25 million americans are living in chronic pain. here's some facts from Politico:

The national effort to curb the opioid crisis faces another big potential obstacle — insurers who won’t pay for less-addictive ways to control patients’ pain.

Patients seeking other pain treatment options often find that their insurers won’t foot the bill or are forcing them to jump through maddening hoops to get coverage. Experts in and out of government worry that this will make it more difficult to reverse the deadly opioid crisis that killed more than 47,000 people nationwide in 2017, even as doctors cut back on opioid prescribing and state and federal governments step up efforts to prevent and treat addiction.

“The epidemic isn’t just about how easy opioids have been to come by. It’s also about how hard it is to access alternatives,” said Caleb Alexander, co-director of Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness. “No one ever died of an overdose of physical therapy."

what SOLUTIONS do you propose, sir?

As a preschool teacher, I know how important the first few years were for a child’s development.

As a dad, I know what it was like to worry where to send my own kids for high-quality care.

As a “dad in tennis shoes," I mobilized thousands of parents around my home state to fight to save my own children's preschool program.

Unfortunately, my government now diagnoses my son as having a mental health problem if at 2 yrs he tries his mother's shoes on. And of course there are those that will insist he receive massive hormone replacement treatments and be castrated.

The Trump’s don’t care about either issue

It was the Progressive Socialists who shut down the Mental hospitals. And it is the progressive socialists that keep enabling tragedies of suffering by drugs in our nation.

Reagan was a progressive socialist? And 90+ of drugs from outside come in through POE's.
