    Yes the system is flailing. Absolutely. There is not enough funding, budgets are slashed, there's not enough trained clinicians and understandably many people don't want to enter the field. That needs to be fixed. Blaming the people who do the work and targeting them as being uncaring, unknowledgeable and suggesting they work for free because their incomes are too comfortable and they're not deserving of the occasional luxury is not helping the cause.

    No that is what you worry about not the guy with the bomb
    ready to take out hundreds...
    he's not thinking about what or who only fix me.
    But he has no way to get fixed.
    I have a feeling people would figure out pretty quick what was wrong with him
    if they had a chance.

    So yes the system is failing the people, even with the millions spent
    and not one positive suggestion here to add to my free Walk in Clinics
    or my Bitch in Clinics as my lad suggested....

    hmmm that really says a lot....

    Lets just take guns away so much easier but solves nothing in our society
    the wrong way drivers, bombers will be have another weapon of choice,
    the illegal guns will still be available probably more so.


    Address the real problem the person and why they are distraught,
    what help do they need before they hurt themselves or others.
    WHAT IS YOUR REALISTIC SOLUTION??

    Having a "debate" about mental health issues in a thread about mass shootings and guns.

    No it's not.... you know... 'mental illness' and 'crime' go hand in hand. If we got rid of mental illness, we would get rid of crime/gun crime. Lax guns laws and extreme ease for anyone to get guns is not the problem - mental illness is.

    Great analogy ...
    and if they don't have insurance or medicaid, that person is going to get a bill for that treatment. And they will help persons with mental issues.. the issue with such persons is finding a bed somewhere. FIND A BED PANDORA. Find one.
    The best is coming out in you I see...
    this is the pack syndrome... google it ;)

    and no they won't help people with mental issues

    Medicaid is unavailabe to most single young men in their 20's :lol:

    Says who? You? As mentioned numerous times on this thread by professionals, a lot of people do not seek help because they don't want to. Don't see the necessity (the 'chin up, I'll be OK' factor) or don't want to because of all the stigma and everthing else attached to this.

    But then, these ladies here, who's line of expertise this is, are just talking mumbo jumbo and don't really know what it's all about...

    Wake up please and try to be open to those who actually 'know' (don't worry, I'm not including myself in this) and talk facts.
    Thank you redrock.. You are always a source of logic in my opinion.. In my experience (with people who are severely mentally ill).. they would NEVER seek treatment...it was their family or their actions-through law enforcement- who got them there....they don't think they NEED treatment... I'm not talking about the substance abuser who wants to stop the cycle...I'm not talking about the depressed person who takes pills and calls a suicide hotline (these people are SEEKING help actively)..I'm talking about the psychotic, schizophrenic, delusionally ill person who thinks their thoughts are NORMAL (the kind of people I think Pandora is referring to insofar as mass shootings, etc., whatever)....those people do NOT regularly seek treatment BECAUSE THEY ARE DELUSIONAL.

    Well if he's coming to me for treatment it damn well better matter to me. It's not as easy as you'd think pandora. It could be a psychotic disorder, a disossiative episode, psychosis caused by an organic issue or substance abuse. All requiring different treatments.

And the best is coming out in me in terms of standing up for the people for whom I went to school to defend (the mentally ill).. not just get on a website and put other people down who are actually educated in same. And I say again... you never answered my question regarding a resolution.. and the best is coming out in you insofar as questioning someones' knowledge (not just mine, but others). Medicaid is unavailable to MOST adults who don't have children Pandora..do some research.

    We have a much different opinion as to what crime is
    and what mental issues are that cause them.

    ok... the constitution was written september 17th 1787 in philadelphia. back then these old ass white men with white wigs used single shot black powder rifles, sure they had black powder pistols too. they wrote the constitution around those style of weapon not assault rifles, no. not automatic firearms, no. not bazookas, no.
    it is inaccurate and not the same ballpark when comparing 1787 with 2012. do the math

    2012 - 1787 = 225 years worth of time, energy, technological breakthroughs with armory designed to kill and used for war, conquering, protection... yes, and a lot of bullshit like murdering animals to extinction in the name of trophy hunting as well as the onslaught of the north american buffalo to starve the indigenous peoples of this land.

    glocks? yeah get em fired up, grandma. the indians are invading the fort. uzi 9mm? rat-a-tat-tat. how about long distance killers for offing elephant and rhinoceros like our pal uncle ted

    kaboom. dead critter. get the ivory.

    black powder rifles took 97 minutes to lock and load. one shot, one kill...or miss, blind ass caveman

    That's what I said not available...

    I guess you didn't get the reference as far as young men in their 20's...

    I know you didn't take much time with the heartbreaking real life scenario
    or answer the questions...

    I think the cat references are among the best parts of this thread (although I still have five pages to read).

    I'm just glad I'm home and self-medicating for my back. It'll make the viewing that much more....entertaining?

    No...interesting. OK, entertaining too. Fuckit, it's Friday.

    Oh you mean acid... now you''re talking ;) I know a little about this from the 70's

    How about you ...

    but no this is nothing like that this is a serious social problem
    with needs that should be addressed
    to better help people to live happy and fulfilled lives,
    not sink deeper into a vacuums where violence is the answer to frustration and loneliness.

    That sounds nothing like acid...
