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

I support the government increasing awareness of mental health and encouraging research into it through dialogue, but not by funding research and such with taxpayer money.

i say yes and no on this one. i would say yes because some people are really bad mentally, if they are, then they should be about to get something done to help, if its not bad, and they can do their own thing, they shouldn't go too deep in it.

Yes, but more in rural areas. There is way to much funding in highly populated areas and not enough in areas that are rural. That's why producers, specifically males depression rates and suicide rates are way higher then urban areas.

Yes, and it should recognize that transgender people are mentally ill and shouldn’t be encouraged to carve up their bodies to make themselves feel better.

No, mental healthcare has proven to be ineffective. Find other means to treat it such as natural community development.

Options 1 and 5 are both fine by me: I think the issue should be researched more, but I don't particularly care by whom. As long as they get the job done, of course.

yes but only for people who qualify for it.

No, Mental health issues are mostly caused from social issues in our society, and it would be less costly and more effective to address the problems from the root instead of throwing money and drugs at it.

Yes, especially for children and parents of said children.

Yes, but de-incentivize medical professionals to have long term clients

Bring back the asylums and involuntary commitment with better standards of care and restrict how many patients can be cared for by a single caregiver to avoid neglect.

No let the private sector figure stuff out

The government should decrease funding for mental health.

No because how we treat mental illnesses and treatment is insane. If it's overhauled, then yes I believe that the government should do so

Yes, but state and local governments

No. Mental heath has taken a horrible turn. It's turned in to a money grabbing drug factory. Not everyone needs drugs to control their mind.

Yes, but not subsidizing pharmaceutical companies and if it is able to be paid for.

Yes, but only a tiny bit

Only if more money is needed in this area.

Give funding to the states who in-turn disperse the funds to local counties and municipalities. This localized focus allows elected official on the local level to tackle the issue, for they know what to do best in their own communities.

More efficient system. Serious mental health patients need to be in institutions

Only for opening more mental health inpatient living.

Increase or give a discount to those who want to go in to mental health field.

Yes, and also incentivize private companies - all three can be done at once.

Yes, but only until the mental health crisis is under control

No, it should be dealt with by the states.

Yes, but allow the states to delegate the funding

Mental health system needs a complete overhaul.

Yes, but decrease the overall health care costs depending on the person

Yes, but drastically decrease the expenses for patients, not just for mental health.

Government should just stay out of mental health.

Let the private sector take the lead on this issue.

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

Yes, but only when mental health providers pledge to value true rehabilitation and improvement, instead of brainwashing and manipulating their patients.

Yes, it will help the gays become straight again

No, this is a state issue not a government issue

No, a return to traditional family values and morality with solve most mental health issues.

No but should create a program and project to address mental health for Human and Health Services.

Only if it is at serious risk to the public

Increase medicare/medicaid rate for mental health professionals to strengthen and retain professionals to decrease shortage

Only if they also decrease funding for something else

it should stay the same

Our medical establishment is corrupt and needs completely redesigned.

Yes, but only if the research includes studying transgenders and homosexuals.

No, but we should entirely cut taxes on companies that provide healthcare, garbage disposal, education, and emergency services.
