The piece to the puzzle is the capacity to medicate and treat on a large scale of hospitalization, and if the community could come to grips with the disease of mental illness as a cause for treatment and less a label, there would be more voluntary commitment. The tragedy of the matter is the stigma and the funding as well as the reluctance to reach out for help. The persons who are treated can remain socially able. The persons who don't feel they need care are the danger to society. As long as we pursue an honest conversation and bring the discussion to seriously address mental illness we will have delusional and angry citizens harming themselves and others. Let's focus on not stigmatizing as a step and treatment funding as a concern there are thousands if not hundred thousand needs for the health of mentally ill, which should by the way , as the Congressman said, should not be looked at as mental. Illness is physical and should not categorize itself other than physical since the brain is part of the body.Daryl Belcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943644234444825078noreply@blogger.com
