Questions A Lot of People Have

People need to know they are loved and accepted for who they are, how they are. Care needs to be compassionate. People need to realize they need care. Ive been on a 5 year healing journey and the hardest part was finally getting help. Now I wonder why I waited so long.

It's systematic, a lot of why we don't have adequate mental health care is due to stigma or also the fact that the poor have been marginalized. A lot of things go hand in hand. For instance, the more we criminalize drugs, the more incentive we have for actually not getting anyone help. There's no incentive in making people better. That's what Reagan did on the war on drugs, now millions sit in prison and take up our taxes and resources on lesser charges on non violent crimes. They get lost in the system and the truth about society is people stop caring about you once you turn 18 in Western cultures.

Prison rehabilitation programs are mostly done by corporations and that doesn't help either.

There's kind of a cycle going on there, we can't improve programs if we're incentivized in other ways.
