In my very humble opinion, when you ask something like this, many people scream "Treatment, medication, yadda yadda"

They never seem to want to address the causes of mental health crisis. WHY are so many people so unhappy? Because they have to devote too much of their lives to going somewhere they don't want to be to do something they don't want to do so they can hopefully make enough to live somewhere that they want to live, but usually, don't.

Many people like to go out hiking, walking, taking photos, camping; but most of us just don't have the time to do it. And regardless of what your interests are, with most people, [i]"If you have the money, you don't have the time, if you have the time, you don't have the money"[/i] is [b]not [/b]just a saying.

@xixgun well if we are to address causes of mental illness we should bring up that 1in4 girls and 1in6 boys are sexual abused assault or molested by age 18. This often ends up in cooccuring disorders and many times addiction.

@WeighedDown Putting a permanent end to molesters would reduce this a lot.

@xixgun problem is many go unreported for years until the after the statute of limitation laws expire, many who prey on male children never get reported at all because of the stigma we have to get rid of that stigma first

@WeighedDown I have a very different view on "statute of limitations" than the legal system does.

@xixgun yeah, me too also think the death sentence should always be the go to in cases of childhood sexual abuse
