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

Medicare for All would deliver necessary mental health treatment. Proven even with increased taxes it. It would cost less. The saving would come from the rapacious for-profit health care and drug industry cartels.
