Mental Health Policy: Comments

I’d put on 35 pounds in just over a year.

I decided that I had to take a serious look at where and why I had failed.

I decided that I had to do something about this promptly. Culture, and networks on people’s decisions to access care, loads of publichealth and policy initiatives meant to encourage care usage have focused on educating people about mental health to combat harmful stereotypes about illness and treatment, as long as of impact of knowledge. Addressing cultural barriers to care and including supportive networks in treatment plans can also encourage treatment. My family supported med by putting me on a thrown I neither asked or wanted b/c dark depths of my mental illness was creative a geneuis at ways to make some income kept both hands full of cash heart w/ love that justified any every irrational act as right. It was short lived. For those of use who lost everything we had somewhere down in deep depths of hell w/o even a hand to grasp onto at exit well we still live in hell just alternative part or a single person who gives a damn about us, how why or what happened.

Accordingly a disease meant only for those who had money able to start over once ride in hell was over.

I served no useful purpose to anyone Just like it happened as a child I was once again abandoned betrayed I had self sabotaged my job, life in exchange for drugs jail as I watched myself doing all those things I had no control of no way of stopping despite having begged willingly volunteered for treatment b/c I didn’t feel right inside no body listened or help.

Environment also being a contributing factor of severity, as a child born biracial, in 1958, impoverished, abandoned left to care for younger brothers before age 10 by a gay mother. Then, well idiot not only jeapordized my life when I went into a blackout rage knocking down close to 20 men making an attempt to hold me back in effort to go after awomen who raised her cane in a threatening way last thing I remember before coming back to hearing words we striving to hold her but she is a single drug proven throught me as their guinea pig that stabilizes my anxiety b/c as Dr he knew better had degrees to prove as much decided I might be treated just as affectively w/ a combo pill for both uses of anxiety Bipolar.

In effect, now this meant I endured lifestyle symptomatic of long period of time untreated /or antidepressants which enhances toillness.

IS pd WAS JUST REMINDED OF THE SIDE HIS BREAD IS BUTTER REMAN SILENT. Fedup they begged to deaf ears not to take me b/c its last I could not go back, THEY MEANT IT! w/o giving almost any thought anyway it’s still obvious clearly visible to even a blind man that something went wrong in brain of a person who knocked down walls, stepped into fire w/o hesitation did whatever necessary to rise above find path for journey to success better life for their children. We slept in cars, always hungry, sexually, emotionally, physically, and similar abused by male family b/c my moms knew she needed them when she disappeared she chose to believe them my being aliar over me. You should take this seriously. If acknowledged as part of that person everything changes along w/ nearly any decision rendered despite it being definitely more dangerous not to provide proper drug therapy which may include Benzo, a psychiatrist once ld me that despite drugs abuse occurring after being Dx documented as symptomatic of a person having long time untreated mental illness of this DX, That’s a fact, it’s biased everything about that person ‘s behavior is for purposes of knowing how to play system for drug seeking.

I was beat down to what I call outer body experience I witnessed of me doing drugs, convinced by images in my head I now know was symptoms of being schitzophrenia causing me to consider that if I didn’t transfer my skills to illegal behavior for money my kids my 2 girls will repeat endure horrors I had to, right after repeating this same routine over O matter how what difficulty or walls knocked down in my quest refusal to accept this as my destiny reason I always had no choice but return.

Just in their right mind should do all those years of hardship required for success only to throw it away once there.

After literally living an existence that felt only be described as in HELL from bible pulling myself out into a lifestyle bliss of paradise. Notice that iSSING MY CHILDHOOD TEENS GOING FROM RAISING HER KIDS WHEN I WAS A KID RIGHT INTO A MOM OF 4 AT AGE bUT, I FOUGHT LIKE A CHAMPDETERMINED TO GET MY DEGREE I DRUG KIDS TO WHOMEVER WOULD BABYSIT. I was initially Dx rather misdiagnosed treated when Bipolar was still in research stage. Actually, nOW B/C IT’S SUCH A PROFITABLE COMMODITY, AS SOON AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR HE SAW IT WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE THAT YOUR dx IS BIPOLAR. I had a stable home but my moms used med one time would come take me away b/c ppl gave her money for me b/c I was very pretty her only girl.

As soon as she finished collecting cash she dumped me at closest house she knew my god parents had to come find me see a dirty snot nose smelly kid unrecognizable as one who left their home.

When I finally accomplished it start a career w/ Fed Govmt that seemed like GOD himself created suitable just to me.

HAT IS THE REASON PPL SUCH AS MYSELF WHERE THE ILLNESS INSIDE IS REAL NEEDS TO BE TREATED PRIOR TO OCCURANCE OF THE CRIMINAL ACT OR LIFE TAKEN THAT THE CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM WILL GET AWAY W/ HOLDING ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR AN ACT I CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER MORE OR LESS COMMITTING BUT B/C THE PUBLIC PRETENDER ASSIGNED TO REPRESENT ME IS REMINDED HE WORKS FOR THE STATE THE JUDGE HAS JUST COMMITTED AN ACT OF JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT W/ HIS STATEMENT EGO TELLS HIM HE CAN DO THAT GET AWAY W/ IT B/C ANY PERSON REPRESENTED BY THE PD IS UNEDUCATED, IGNORANT OF THE LAW PROBABLY EVERYTHING ELSE. While pouring of every every person alive energy that I literally physically felt sincerely thankful to have justifiable reason to turn me away w/o thought or consideration, difficult to obtain to be correctly DX treated that is until I lost my healthcare Medicaid doesn’t provide for I finally learned everything thaqt happened to me was a result of Dx Bipolar 1 w/ schizophrenia severe anxiety, I I walked ward light got out of tunnel into a world that made me feel emotions of gratitude.

ONLY THE PPL OF POVERTY SUFFER THE AFFECTS OF MENTAL ILLNESS KNOWINGLY AND PURPOSELY BY THOSE IN CONTROL OF THE ABILITY TO HELP THEM BUT WONT. I WELCOME THE CHALLENGETO COMPARE THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BS DX OF BIPOLAR 1 THAT HAVE WEALTH AND THEIR CAKE WALK OF STORIES THAT CAUSED THEM SO MUCH HARDSHIP ON THEIR JOURNEY. By time answers began to arrive my life as I knew it worked hard as hell to achieve was over. While willing to commit, to achieve their desired goal for their mark to remain long after they’ve gone, mostly there’s a point, however, even strongest person, whose spirit overflowed with ambition, life everything else required. Basically, who had to relocate to FL for a better life for his only family it far can’t even that is called a ripple effect.

I had hoped someone would’ve acknowledged this fact as well as b/c I’d been wondering for so long in darkness fight a battle alone that it has worn me down to point of being lost not even having energy or capability to think of a course that will help find my way again.

I wouldve preferred bullet that ended it all quickly, instead of slow death I was dying for 30 yrs.

Therefore this being first time since learning of my illness that had a doctor asked if I felt like committing suicide, my answer should have been yes, Know what guys, I just didn’t get opportunity to take all pills or any before something made me go to sleep like someone that had been partying hard w/o benefit of doing or enjoying toeffects. Despite sacrificing your life so that they may live will not be easily forgotten, for unconditional love of my children tolifestyle, successful career all gone damage of ur sacrifice prevents ur ability to even rebuild b/ gone need them to extend their hand just long enough for me to find my. Controll of render hellp to their mental health, enhancements of my misdiagnosis drug therapy did not require much considerate of trauma of rape betrayal when I ld my mom on male family members, hunger, and suchlike, and suchlike, by time lights came on to progress of being capableof filling the w/ answers to fill void in my belly I had no information what, why, or how to fill it just that it made me feel empty uncomfortably disconnected from my body, while I am truly happy for those who benefited from scientific medical benefit of progress. Generally, like I needed anything or one else to add to my world of madness of which upon having sacrificed one’s self whether in man’s eye deemed right, wrong or indifferent certainly of that in comparison to GODS law, not even he can deny fact thatnotwithstanding, simple sacrifices that have all but disappeared from humanity even word can not be defined by young generation. And therefore the public’s acceptance of mental illness was about zero, when I started practice in 1966.

We have a very long way to do.

Jump to 2012 when I retired from practice and began volunteering at a free primary care clinic.

Did you know that the understanding and acceptance of mental illness had jumped from zero to about 10 percent and that was just in medical staff. Nevertheless, I have two kids…a 14 year old and 10 year old. I love them very much yet I feel more disconnected each day. Remember, at the moment I’m going through psychosis and hallucinations. I’ve been suffering with mental illness for years. So here’s the question. Does anyone have advice on relationships with family and especially wife and children? Considering above said. I worry a lot that my mental illness will impact them negatively. Although, my wife is currently caring for me.

So it’s not an easy road.

Thank god for similar to excluding people with these conditions from employment and social or educational opportunities. In medical settings, negative stereotypes can make providers less going to focus on patient rather than todisease, endorse recovery as an outcome of care, or refer patients to needed consultations and follow up services. In a commentary accompanying this report, former Lady Rosalynn Carter, gether with Rebecca Palpant Shimkets and Thomas Bornemann of Carter Center Mental Health Program, describe challenges faced in attempting to reduce stigma of mental illness and increase access to care.

Basically the hope is that legislative efforts will eventually lead to true changes in attitudes ward mental illness, these laws often serve to force structural changes. Basically the many legislative efforts spearheaded by Carter Center have helped create or change public law to protect rights of people with mental illness and ensure parity for mental health services. Integrative research that connects mental health, public health, education, and primary care fields is necessary. Accordingly the authors of this report and commentary reckon that such integrative efforts can a real problem wide spread relapse among discharged patients and most cause is stigma in tocommunity. Would they bully a person in a wheel chair?No, By the way I wonder who is really sick after that,?If society had a better attitude wards mental illness, I reckon there would’ve been less mental illness. I would say 80percentage of mental illness symptoms are caused by stigma.

Plenty of people will end up discriminating more, or thinking of you as a child, Therefore in case you mention you have a mental illness only will believe you about anything since you are crazy. In second issue of Psychological Science in Public Interest, Patrick Corrigan, Benjamin Druss, and Deborah Perlick discuss role of stigma in limiting access to care and in discouraging people from pursuing mental health treatment. People often do not seek out care they need, despite many effective mental health interventions are available. For example, mental illness has widereaching effects on people’s education, employment, physical health, and relationships. Now pay attention please. Actually, in 2011, only 59 dot 6percentage of individuals with a mental illness including such conditions as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder reported receiving treatment.

Whenever leading to development of ‘self stigma’, these displays of discrimination can become internalized.

Self stigma can also lead to development of why try effect, whereby people consider that they are unable to recover and live normally so why try?

While undeserving of care, dangerous, or responsible for their illnesses, people with mental illness may begin to believe negative thoughts expressed by others and, in turn, think of themselves as unable to recover. Now this can lead them to feel shame, low ‘selfesteem’, and inability to accomplish their goals. On p of that, some individuals may also try to avoid being labeled as mentally ill by denying or hiding their problems and refusing to seek out care, to people who consider that mental illness is simply about behavior umm. Structural stigma presents additional largescale barriers to mental care by undermining opportunities for people to seek help. Did you know that a lack of parity between coverage for mental health and similar health care, lack of funding for mental health research, and use of mental health history in legal proceedings, just like custody cases, all present structural reasons that people I was made to strip and be examined head to toe, my breasts were uched and I was made to squat and cough while undressed. Lots of information can be found easily online. I was discriminated against because of my mental illness. For example, talk about stigma. Was I homeless. I was asked about any criminal involvement, drug tested and asked what I was coming down from. Cultural factors can influence kinds of behaviors types that are thought to violate social norms and degree to which discrimination against people who display nonconformative behavior is accepted.

Studies have shown that knowledge, culture, and So field I’m a CADC since late ’80s, a MFT since late ’90s, and a Psy. Actually, I don’t see this changing, unless or until profession catches up with late Arthur Deikman et al.
