Heres more from republican congressman murphy who chaired the subcommittee. [video clip] in the year and a half ive been committee,ng on this even with my 30 year background in clinical psychology, i have been shocked to learn just how much our country has failed those with serious and persistent mental illness. The report reveals that the Current Mental Health system does not respond until after a crisis is already occurred, because we do not empower parents, patients among clinicians, Law Enforcement and others to stop it from happening. In the face of these tragedies we have been too uncomfortable to knowledge the sobering fact, it is the last bastion of stigma in Mental Health concerns those with serious mental illness.

I want to no one talks about the of ssriside effects uptake inhibitors, including violent behavior. The number of studies involving food and how it can affect Mental Health, ease of been done all over the country, including in schools. They find that when they fixed the diet, and they take out the processed food in the junk food, even imprisoned, the violent behavior disappears. Host are you aware of this .

Host lets go to rick, from louisville, ohio. Caller i have some questions. What percent of the population has over 50 of the wealth to date . 50 years ago, one percent had two percent. For health,money Apple Computers is sitting on 175 billion, the walmart heirs are sitting on 250 billion, bp sucks out money out of the system every year. The top one percent is controlling over 1 trillion. There is no money for the va, there is no money for Mental Health, there is no money for infrastructure, there is no money for health care. There is no money for nothing. Well, there is money. We are spending on mental illness. Heres where we are spending it, we are spending it on jailing people, homeless services, they are very expensive. We are spending on Law Enforcement, i read since last weeks tragedy, Santa Barbara wellnessve at least 10 checks every single day, many of them involving mental illness. We are investing enormously in responding to untreated mental illness, with our cops, with our prisons, with homeless, with emergency hospitalization. Every time someone walks into an er because they are psychotic, and they have to sit there, there are people sitting in er is for six weeks, two weeks, 10 days. They are sitting there for that time, that is costing someone money. If we look at this more holistically, looked at what we and putting on this it into treatment, we would have more money for all sorts of other things. Host one final point, why is it so difficult to connect the dots . Guest on the money issue, for example, the jails and prisons would save money. But the political system doesnt say, ok sheriff, we will take this money for jailing people, but its them, and then you will need the money. We need it, we are silent.
