I don't know the state of affairs in America, but I would be more inclined to blame the government for lack of funding.
That and the ignorance the general public have towards mental health.
Possibly many tragedies could be avoided if people picked up symptoms earlier and there was help to be had.
I think there's a pretty thin line between mental illness and religion.
It's basically the difference between "God speaks to me (In some vague indescribable way)"
And "God speaks to me (really, he speaks to me)"
Or "God guides me (in some vague way)" and "God guides me (God really is in control of me sometimes)"
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
