MENTAL HEALTH

There are many facets to mental health services based upon the varied degrees of illness and functionality. These include having medication prescribed and monitored by a Psychiatrist, Intensive Day Programs and other support group environments, occupational therapy, financial support, and available beds/spaces in acute psychiatric facilities. All of the aforementioned are lacking greatly in our medical system and wait times are staggering. This causes a decline in mental health and consequently leads to isolation, addiction, and tragically alarmingly high rates of suicide.
