re: #6 Targetpractice

It’s an issue that is easy to bandaid (more access) but ignores that you can’t force people to take advantage of that access. You open more clinics and provide easier access, you’ll still have a society that says mental illness is “overdiagnosed” and that psychiatrists are quacks who answer every “illness” with a pill rather than a solution. That even if you get a person on medication, you can’t force them to take it every day.

Yes, I sadly know this. I have a young nephew recently diagnosed with schizophrenia and obtaining treatment for him was very difficult for 12 weeks.

But as to the gun issue—it’s a public health issue having so many guns out there.
