Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.

The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

With the current debate over the funding of planned parenthood I thought it would be fitting to add this in. Should contraceptive services be provided to women regardless of their employers personal beliefs?

Absolutely. Contraception is a medication used for many other health issues. Even though the main use is to prevent pregnancy, should you prevent others from using it to slow ovarian cyst growth? Most diabetes medicine has a side effect of weight loss. Should this medication be stopped, because weight loss drugs aren't covered by health insurance?

In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not.

There was a group home next door to my home for years. These kids had no support even when they were in the system. They were often locked out of the home when the state workers needed to go somewhere. My family and I ended up being family for many of these children. One afternoon, Charles who lived in the group home, rang our doorbell. I came out and he was yellow and falling over. I asked him where are the workers. He let me know they had locked them out again. I put him in my car and rushed him to the hospital. I knew it was bad when the emergency room nurses took him immediately. The staff at the group home had been giving him the wrong medication and he lost most of his liver. Charles calls me mom. His children call me Grandma. A lot of the kids that were living in the home, call me mom. I refer to them as one of my kids. The best way to take care of these children is to invite them into your heart, lives and family before and after they turn 18. Demonstrate the way to success by showing them love.
