Get politically : Active. If you feel good mental health care in the United States is bad, and i agree that much can be improved, i would recommend that you get politically active through your local nami branch and work hard so the politicians understand the plight of the mentally ill in this country. However, it is not only mental health that is suffering in this country, it is also physical health care that is in a state of disarray.You might want to also think about the factthat the only countries in the world that have exclusively socialized mental health care are north korea and canada.All other countries with so-called socialized medicine have a private pay component and the option of a socialized medicine component.Please do your best to get politically active.
