Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

Yes, but it should fund other companies so that mental health care is not in the hands of one political party at a time who could use this.

Yes, but only because getting a therapist is very hard these days, and we need to make areas for people to go to get their counseling

Therapy is not a valid treatment anymore and community and connection should be exalted over this institution. Through places such as church or other centers, peoples mental structure will become increasingly healed.

Yes, but only after eliminating funding for other agencies and programs that the American people rely on the least.

The government should not look to either increase or decrease funding, it should instead look to make it more efficient.

Yes, but requiring free mental/physical health testing before providing care, to ensure the system does not get abused.

Yes, there should be easier access to mental health resources. Insurance companies should be obligated to treat mental health concerns the same as any other medical issue.

in some cases like true mental deformities but nothing like gender or believing you something your not.

Yes, but this should be against real mental health issues, like elevating public quality of life to prevent suicidal-related or causing conditions, as well as complete delusions such as "gender identity" or whatever.

The government's involvement in others' sorrows is not their problem, they need to worry about running the country.

I am unsure of whether the overall funding for this reserach and treatment should be increased or decreased, in order to decide I would have to look at the specific cost allocation and further analysis. I do believe we should institute a single-payer healthcare system that includes free of cost mental health treatment.

Yes, however there also needs to be a change in the whole system that need to focus on the well-being of the citizens like creating opportunities for living wages and jobs, etc.

No, However, privatized healthcare should be held to standards that ensure affordability and accessibility for mental health care. Additionally, Eastern medicine and holistic practices should be recognized and made available as treatment options, providing individuals with a broader, culturally inclusive range of care choices.

Yes and No I think they should expand somewhat but also draw out of other parts of the mental health world.

yes and no because some people are taking advantage of it and making false disability claims. Even though it can higher the rate for our care and services

Leave mental health to privatized insurance but redirect the focus of the public education system and add government incentive while leaving the states to decide what is appropriate to teach

yes but only for people who qualify for it.

I don't think there is a yes or no because I support the treatment for mental health, but I think if there is too much funding then the issue arises that more people will assume they are more ill than they are because of the popularity scale it brings

Allow mental health professionals to do this instead.

No and some diagnosis for some people are cop outs

I think that there should be more funding to provide higher quality care for people with real mental health issues; however, I believe that many people abuse the system and there should be more requirements met for disability claims.

Leave it to the states, but regulate what they can and can not pass. The state can decide on whether they need the government's funds or not .

Yes, and reopen mental asylums and state mental hospitals for the violent, transgender, and criminally insane.

Only if researchers are not paid for by lobbiest or political activists like the LBGT movement. Many psychology institutions and boards have been bought and paid for to get the outcomes the financial provider is looking for.

No, it all turns to corporate BS positivity

Yes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services and increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies

No, our government has no Money.

Yes increase spending for R&D

No. Should be funded at the local level.

they should increase funding for the research and treatment, but not make it cost more.

Yes, create a more robust healthcare system in general while also creating incentives for private insurers to address the issue.

Yes. All health care should be provided by the government.

No, because mental health problem are made up by the psychiatrist

I think more so for cancer, autism, etc... but if someone just has anxiety or depression of course get help but it shouldn't be the top priority

No, go to the gym

The importance of mental health in this country should not be placed I the hands of the government. Something so critical to the stability of this country should not be delegated to the same bureaucrats that run USPS, IRS, and every other incomprehensibly inefficient program run by the government.

Yes, but only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies, and our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services

Anything that is being "funded" by the government should be audited - the government has not money- they take it from the tax payer- they should be more responsible with my money- use it for the intended purpose

free healthcare including mental health care

No, the government shouldn't be involved in healthcare.

if the person needs it due to economic status, yes

we need to improve mental health but not through the State

The mental hospitals need to be improved in our country. They are more like prisons, and do not help what so ever. Trust me, I know.

Yes, but not directly (perhaps they can do fundraisers), because we need to get out of debt.

Take federal subsidizing funding from pharmaceutical companies and give it to this research.

not informed enough to form a full opinion

Government should pour money into the treatment of TDS

No, not government's job

This is for the private sector to tackle solely on its own. The government should stay out of health research and funding.

Mental health research and treatment needs a full audit and reform. Mental health treatment is extremely difficult and easily exploited in ways that are harmful to the individual, leading to dependency on mental health prescriptions and patients who are just given a drug and sent out the door rather than finding proper treatment and therapy.

Yes, every American deserve free healthcare that covers everything about a person's health.

Yes , but use funds from taxing legalized drugs.

I don’t have an opinion

Yes and consider gendermisforia a mental health issue

Private sector should handle mental health

Yes, I am against healthcare for all but mental health is so misunderstood and unknown that I am almost for it for that aspect. I believe it is a national crisis and emergency.

The government is using the data during polling and it's a social engineering experiment.

Yes, so long as the total amount spent on healthcare as a whole does not exceed 20% of total government spending, excluding social security spending; and does not require deficit spending

Yes, but don't raise our taxes because of this.

Yes but the entire system should be changed.

NO, it's been used for nefarious reasons, it should offer more holistic incentives by Naturopathic Medical companies

No, increase mental health awareness instead

System needs to be divorced from Swatting, Speculation, and White Collar Crime. Pure Greed.

No, nutrition and health not drugs should be promoted

No, the government has proven that they have no business in care of any kind.

Yes, though it should be governed at the state or local level.

No, psychiatry is an implicitly ableist system

No, mental illness doesn’t exist.

They need to make sure there funding the right treatment and evidence of researches.

It should only be for conditions the danger the person

All medical research should be fully funded.

No, instead incentivize and educate people to eat healthier, live an active lifestyle, and build relationships with local communities

yes, but they must lower funds somewhere else to be able to afford to fund these organizations

Abolish the government. But yes funding should be increased.

No. Get the government out of all research.

No but make black slavery legal for personal health care no one should pay for personal health care their the perfect servents their bubbley obedient

No, leave this to the free market

Begin medical trials on psychedelics

Don't have enough info for an informed opinion

Yes, our national culture has an unhealthy view on things like introspection and treating your mental health. This has caused so many lives that could've been lived better, if at all. If you want businesses and this country to work their best, the actual people in it have to feel their best. Invest in people.

Yes for treatment, no for research

This is. a much larger question than yes vs. no. Depends on the mental illness, what the plan to help individuals would be and what happens with the research?
