I know its used as a bad faith deflection tool, but the US should actually provide some kind of support for the mentally ill and we don't among the myriad of other things we don't do that lead this place to be the hellscape that it is.

Is it possible that thinking gun culture is such a sacred thing its worth all the school shootings and hate fueled massacres is the mental health problem? You can have guns, or you can have an overly aggressive society that hates itself, america is trying to do both?

What we do have more of is ANGER. The growing divide where education is out of reach for most, banks and insurance companies are stealing us blind, housing has become foreign owned & priced way beyond what wages can keep up with, racism, sexism, and religious bullshit.

The US is number 55 one list and 76 on another homicide rate.. Too high but not unique to the US.. Just want perspective

Psych labels have always been a diversion away from the core of cultural dysfunction. They are excuses for sick families and sick "civilisations". Severely limited in usefulness, Real answers, cures, come from Spiritual seeking, spiritual growth, and holistic nontoxic remedies.
