I like that she focuses so much on prevention and early intervention. I think that’s what’s missing from our current system.

That’s not true, about Trump, he does have a plan,
and one of his ideas is to open up restrictions on parents of adult sufferers
to get greater access to their care,
after hearing some many parents say, they could have saved their child.
You mean Trump is REAL!!! I just thought that he was one of my insane hallucinations! Jesus…

Hillary says 40 million Americans suffer some kind of mental disorder,
that seems high, and kind of scary to the average person who labels such
person with criminal intent, or dangerous to society.
She wants to make mental health care the same as physical health care.
That kind of thought, coupled with gun control, should pacify the general public,
and create a society based on control.
I’m on the one hand offended by thinking someone with diabetes is the same as me,
and wanting people to understand the difficulties, and on the other hand,
feeling the need to break stigma and silence around my condition.
Trump’s idea is to let parents of adult sufferers have greater access
to their child’s health care,
in hopes to save more lives, especially in rehab, and psych wards.
I see a problem with this too, because parental abuse could happen.
Anyway, glad they are talking about the issue. I wish they would offer
resident docs getting out of school to get their loans forgiven by moving
into rural areas. I wish we got what Hollywood gets for rehab, or wards,
instead of jail, like a mini vacation to feel better.

I think any solid plan should include creating more beds in psych hospitals. My experience was chilling, not being able to stay in the mental hospital because there were not enough beds. I could have ended up dead or prison.
Can you’ll link to where Trump explains his plan for mental health care? I can’t find it online.
I found it awhile ago under Trump Platform
but not sure.
Yeah, I just spent some time googling Trump and “mental health plan” or “mental health agenda” and have not found anything, especially not from an independent news source.
I do get plenty of google search results for Clinton regarding her mental health agenda.

Oh, ok, Moonbeam, then I must be lying, right??
Here is an article by well known reporter and author (who has a son with Bipolar) on the topic of the plans offered by each candidate:

No, I’m not suggesting that at all Daze. You may well have come across a statement on Donald Trump’s website for example.
I’m referring to a published mental health plan or agenda for Trump. I have so far been unable to find mention of a mental health agenda/plan described in independent news sources or by organizations like NAMI.
it’s not a plan introduced to the Senate,
it’s his ideas on what he wants to see happen.
Trump is not a political insider like Clinton,
and I can’t post links anyway as new frigging user,
go find it yourself.
Done with this.
Bump!
3 days to go, make the right choice.
Don’t get the thread locked up. Ahem. Yes I find your comments very helpful to my recovery! Thank you.

That’s right! I could have saved my child from suicide, if only the police and his doctor had listened to me.
That is real funny!!!
And then it got blatantly political despite warnings to the contrary. I should be more like @flameoftherhine and just eat popcorn on these things.
No negative comments, no one got triggered, no posts flagged, no harm done. Right? lol
Some popcorn, however…sign me up.
