Thank you. I fought for his life. Finally my soul is at peace with his loss. It’s hard returning to church, after the ordeal, and but I have been pressing way to worship God. I will never forget him, never. I’m writing a book about my experiences with him. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. We complained about the medications he was prescribed. He said the meds made him feel like a zombie in water.

Her admiration, love and deep care for her family members and even _strangers_ who suffer really touched my heart. It’s beautiful.

In a perfect world, mental health would be covered by public funds so that all who need it can get it, but that can also be deeply corrupted. So I guess the profit model to mental health will stand unless we can find a middle path somewhere.

When I got my master’s degree in Social Work I went to work in public mental health.
The people that I got to know were like everyone else.
What I came away with is that what was most appreciated is talking to someone who is not psychotic.
Assertive community treatment is fabulous for folks.

We closed all of the mental institutions… now they’re just on the streets and making life worse for everyone.
People need help and everyone else should be protected from people dealing with mental health problems.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but sometimes empathy can be more harmful than helpful.

Mental illness, just like physical illness, has stages. People with mild mental health problems are treatable and of course, won’t cause much trouble for everyone. However, it’s the social stigma that could worsen their suffering.

First time watching the movie and second time just watching your amazing acting in the same movie. And today, in this Tedwomen program, I met another of your beautiful faces. I have this message for everyone. When you see someone disinterested and introverted, don’t get upset and don’t judge too soon. Maybe he’s/she’s at war with himself/herself and doesn’t know what’s going on in his/her brain/ mind. stop judging people. ❤

Unfortunately, getting help for mental health issues is still too dangerous in the United States. First there is the stigma obviously, but the less obvious is that you are put on a registry that can be used to incriminate you for offenses or even have your individual rights stripped from you, and you are also subjected to a variety of pharmaceutical drugs to treat whatever affliction that a doctor or therapist says that you’re suffering from which all have a variety of their own harmful side effects. I saved my own mother’s life from psychiatric medication, she was bedridden and couldn’t go outside or pay her bills because the prescribed drugs had crippled her with fear, self-doubt, and anxiety (and this is after being put through MANY of them to find the “right ones”). I was unable to save my sister from the sleeping meds they prescribed her. I also couldn’t save my brother (an opiate and pharmaceutical drug addict) from the 17 different prescriptions they gave him when he came out of rehab. These pharmaceutical companies and the doctors that operate as their agents of destruction have been murdering tens of millions of people with their “medical treatment” with impunity (just look at the Purdue Pharmaceutical’s case). My elderly mother is down to 1 blood pressure medication and 1 ADHD medication, and is living a much more functional and full life. There needs to be a more holistic approach to the foundations of mental illnesses that involves counseling, exercise, diet, job skills, education, and community relief. Once people start struggling we need to have a brake pedal we can put on the government/corporate pressure that sends our loved ones into an early grave. Mentally ill people can’t function normally and we need to have protections for them in place that stop the tax collectors, debtors, and HOA’s from trying to make them homeless and destitute; which just adds to their problems.

“Mental health” is a catch all for different maladies, nearly all of which are a “normal” response to a “sick” society. Don’t medicate the individuals who are sensitive to the dysfunction and corruption in our communities, fix the way we behave as communities and institutions! Corporations are NOT people , hold the people running them accountable, stop the corruption of “lobbyists” padding the pockets of our government representatives (they are supposed to be representing us not the wealthy corporations and institutions) Tax the churches and the wealthy elites and put the money into healthy community spaces with lots of free fruit trees and community gardens.

Doctors/scientists have never located “mental illnesses “ in the brain, they can’t point to a location and say there, there’s depression, there’s adhd, there’s insomnia. There needs to be a new approach to how we care for this , and not from big pharma.
