The only way we can heal a problem is if we recognize its root. Our society itself is sick, which then causes people within it to be sick; but we call this a “mental health crisis” as though the crisis belongs to the individual alone. 1/3

In fact, our mental health crisis is not rooted in the individual who experiences it so much as in the society that causes it. 2/3

The very forces that cause it thrive on it, as in everything from media to politics to human relations there are clicks and dollars and power to be gained from the consciousness of attack and the behavior it produces.3/3 My new substack: mariannewilliamson.substack.…

@marwilliamson use your voice to bring attention to Serious Mental Illness, SMI, which is different from the “mental health crisis”. Accessible treatment and supportive housing results in major decrease in homelessness and incarceration. #HomesThatHeal #Schizophrenia

If you can heal the symptoms, But not affect the cause, It's quite a bit like trying to heal a gunshot wound with gauze.

#AllADOSareBlackAllBlackAintADOS nitter.vloup.ch/JulianSteptoe/st… #PermanentCompleteReparations = (approximately) $1.2 triiion x 175 years [$50,000 paid to each #ADOS person each year]. Whatever we're doing at any moment is contributing our choices, with aims to do good, evil, or nothing.
"Color" branding, resolved into "Afro-American", still offers no distinct title, no ethnic identity. We are still the world's only people with no ethnic identity, no "brand" by which to claim our collective earnings, our cultural rights, our personal dignity. #ADOSAF or #NigsRUs>

Let's be clear. Some people in this society are sick. the top 5% greedy ones are probably causing 95% of all the sickness. I have no data for this just a gut that has been kicked over and over and over.
