Down load the spreadsheet.
I agree that it's only one aspect, definitely a great need for reform in other areas, but it's a much bigger aspect than people seem to think. I'm not a professional in the mental health field, I just get the pleasure of protecting those that are and working around them but from what I've seen in my area alone mental healthcare is in the shitter. Scratch that, it aspires to be in the shitter.
I know that my experience doesn't shape reality but it's like this for most of the states not just here.
Thank the 80's when a "pill can fix everything" mentality was born.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
