Short YouTube interview (host Donald Burns) in which a guest argues that the U.S. fails to adequately address mental health; the guest links underinvestment in mental health to crime and homelessness, urges funding for awareness and access, and suggests mental-health improvements could reduce political polarization by focusing on common ground.
If you were president, United States, what is one thing you would change what.
We'Re doing for mental health in this country?
Oh, that is so true. We're not doing. We don't do for mental health.
We don't do anything for it.
Or we give people bills. We just. Like we said.
Yeah. And in my view, it's led. It leads to. To crime, to homelessness, to all of these different things. And we spend all of this money just trying to put band aids on it just to suffice. And if we would really, truly spend money on mental, just overall mental health awareness and giving people the avenue to get that, I think it would make an outstanding difference even in, you know, the two political party side that we have. You know, just, you know, why can't we just all agree to disagree on some issues and, you know, I have some people that are on the other side of that with my personal views and we sit around to talk politics. 95% of stuff we agree that we think the exact same way on. It's 5, 10% out there that we disagree on. And why can't we just really focus on the 90%, making those things the best possible. And I think mental health can go a long way with that side of it, too. Not just the people.
You got my vote. Yeah, running. You got my vote, man.
Be Secretary of State.
I think I'd want to be a secretary of war. No.
