Oh but it matters very much to the patient. The patient needs someone that can make an accurate diagnosis, pick the appropriate treatment and administer it.

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??

No they want to see a doctor and get help .

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.

All mumbo jumbo. I wouldn't care what you decided - just give me the pills... the pink and purple ones, please.

Of COURSE! Silly me... apologies to candidate Chad.

Sorry some here can not see the connection between mental issues and crime

I think it has something to do with being a gun opponent

Clouds the mind to the real issues as to why people are violent with guns...
the guns aren't firing themselves sometimes something so simple is missed.

OK... I could use the crying with laughter emoticon, the facepalm one, the rolleyes or all three. No other response possible, really.

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

wow how many years did you say ? :fp:

um, no, it's not 'pack syndrome', but I think you mean 'crowd' syndrome, or the bystander effect---and, again, you are totally wrong. And I didn't need to google it. 8 years I said, and 8 years it is. And I think YOU should google it. 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.
