America’s mental health system is having a breakdown. Suicide rates are at a record high; drug addiction is epidemic. There aren’t enough therapists, particularly not enough who accept insurance. And too often the most vulnerable and severely ill end up on the streets, or fill our prisons and jails.

But for the roughly 43 million people in the United States who suffer from mental health problems each year, the bottom line is that most still aren’t getting treatment.

I heard a rumor and I can't link to rumor, but I heard that non mental patients are saying that they have known mental illness signs to get the drugs the normal mental patient (normal mental patient?) needs and then trades the drugs for money or other drugs with the neighborhood drug dealer, which could number in the high numbers and you can't do anything about that either.
They should change the name of the drug enforcement agency DEA, to the drug education agency and start with the five year olds to have a better society 20 years from now.
