Unrigging the US economy and actually tending to the needs of our citizens would do more to address the mental health crisis in the United States than would any amount of money spent on standard psychological approaches to the problem. 1/3

If a person has to work three jobs to make ends meet and lives with chronic economic anxiety day after day and year after year, they don’t just need someone to talk to about it or a pill to numb their pain. 2/3

The mental health crisis is a symptom of a deeper cause, and the system that’s the cause of that symptom trying to distract us by saying how much they care about mental health is part of the gaslighting that’s at the heart of the problem. 3/3

"Unrigging the U.S. economy" is a pretty loaded and ambiguous template. How would you do that?

Capitalism creates oppression and oppression creates depression and many other medical issues. It doesn't take a psychologist to figure it out. Poverty creates crime. This is designed by the US gov to control 7 billion people. Fascism.

Exactly. It'd also calm all the right-wing extremists down. Financial insecurity makes people crazy.

It's hard to heal from any kind of abuse as long as the abuse is ongoing.

The Kardashian Society (enabled by out of control money supply increase creating too much easy money) is terrible for the nation. Removing central command intervention and letting things correct (Capitalism) would be very healthy for the US. Current scenario is highly unhealthy.

Ridiculous amounts for what they call defense. These are offensive dollars born on the back of those who can least afford it. Handouts? That’s what the poor get and made to feel guilty about.
