    It should not be so hard to keep ones prescriptions going when moving to a new state. There should be an easier transition. Moving should not be a death sentence. I am trying so hard to LIVE, it should not be a struggle to stay alive.

    Give us hospitals so we can get care and treatment. Don't just lock us up because we attempted suicide. We all want to be happy. I can't believe that America can't get this right! It's because the system was abused years ago. Just like everything else in our history, it gets screwed up! I don't care what it cost, if you have a heart attack you will go to a hospital and be treated. The heart is an organ and so is the brain!

    Mental illness is just a name that a dr gave to a demon that attacks our minds.

    As a mental health provider it is increasingly apparent to me that we do not have enough services available to meet the needs of our patients. Hospitals are closing their doors and patients must wait weeks or months to get in to see psychiatrists. Substance abuse treatment facilities are under funded and have wait lists so long that people often relapse before getting the treatment they need! This must change!!!

    Let's make sure mental health treatment is available to all, that doctors, nurses, teachers, police have special training in dealing with the SMI. And, help everyone understand that mental illnesses are brain diseases, so we can erase the stigma. They can be treated, just like heart disease! There should be no shame. Education is the key to understanding.

    I couldn't agree more that more needs to be done for mental illness treatment, education, research and stigma reduction.
