My Journey towards the Exit, a positive story about Mental Health
- DrScump 9y ago"You go to places like San Francisco and you can see America’s approach to mental health problems on the streets, and it’s heartbreaking. What chance do people have when they can’t get insurance, never mind being able to afford the treatment outright?" That's like seeing people with poor dietary habits and concluding, "America's approach to agriculture is heartbreaking." There are lots of resources that people on the street don't pursue, whether by choice or ignorance. Healthy SF has free services. Low-income people can get full ACA policies for little or nothing (even if here illegally). There are also student-therapist services providing excellent care on a sliding scale. And none of these makes you wait 8 months.
