It’s Insanity

It’s insanity that the health an individual needs fades away just because it’s in a different part of one’s body. What makes it more ludicrous is that the denial of this health has not only an impact on those suffering but those around them and even the general public as a whole.  While all medical treatment is important those who suffer from illnesses in the brain need more care well after they leave a hospital.  For untreated mental health based on any reason can result in an individual self-medicating on illicit drugs that hurt society as a whole, leave an individual homeless, cause a family to disintegrate, and even lead to a violent end to that individual and the innocent bystanders. Society also loses some of its most creative/artistic people when those suffering from mental health conditions lose the resources to get better.    We need to do more as a society not only for the good of the individual suffering but the general well-being of a nation by providing the resources for someone to truly get better from illnesses in the head. This will lead them to lead a productive life that makes us a nation all a whole lot better.
