7,148,877 | Severe mental illness can remove a loved one far outside normal, rational thinking. Advice here assumes that we are talking to a clear-minded person. It is almost impossible to hear any rationality in schizophrenia and clinical depressions. Loud , constant threatening audible hallucinations stomp out any well-tho... | 4,370 |
7,110,558 | So keep your semi-automatic weapons, and turn them into machine guns if that floats your boat; fight universal background checks; support the right of the mentally ill to purchase and stockpile any weapons they want, which is obviously more important to you than the lives of innocent people lost to mass murderers. | 4,371 |
7,026,057 | Why is the US shocked and dismayed? We are not. Mental health is a problem everywhere on earth but the US is special because a person with mental health issues can walk to a corner store and purchase a weapon of mass destruction. As long as guns are more important than people, let the killings continue. | 4,372 |
7,170,719 | Well.....I do not work in mental health...but I was raised by a single mother who is more liberal than Gloria Steinman...and she made sure that there was a lot of psych reading materials at my disposal while growing up. And, I know enough about the psych world to know that (and yes, I have gone through it myself) that ... | 4,373 |
7,024,137 | Gene, you pose a good question but its not as simple as saying its "a", "b" or "c".
Lets look at the tragedy of Sandy Hook. 20 kids gunned down by a well-recognized / diagnosed mentally unstable individual. His mother, by most accounts, was also quite "odd"- a 'prepper, she most likely gave her son the 'Sarah Conn... | 4,374 |
7,080,302 | "At least 70 homeless people died in BC in 2015..."
Hardly shocking that in a year when 35,000 people died in the province, 70 come from a community consisting largely of mentally ill drug addicts and alcoholics. | 4,375 |
7,086,641 | Respectfully to the person who thinks looking to other cities' success is a bad idea, I disagree. It's about time Hawaii stop poopooing programs that are well-tested and working elsewhere. Plain and simple-- homelessness, untreated mental illness, and drug addiction cost us all. Seattle is plenty diverse. So is Santa F... | 4,376 |
7,194,173 | Spen- please repair your "mental skiff". | 4,377 |
7,085,367 | When someone is left alone in a room, and if the person is angry and agitated, the chances are that he would further proliferate anger. This rumination and mental proliferation, etc., can eventually lead to mental health problems (research supports this – even changes in the brain happen under severe stress). So, perha... | 4,378 |
7,078,439 | "We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries. But this isn't a guns situation." Having so many guns IS a mental health problem , Mr. President | 4,379 |
7,027,569 | Seems if it’s not a gun issue, then funds for mental health are required to treat a nation wide plague of mental health problems..and if it’s not a gun issue as well, then why are so many gun deaths occuring in the US? are Americans suffering more from mental illness that other countries? | 4,380 |
7,021,732 | You are being misleading.
I have quite a bit of experience dealing with mental cases, beginning with both my parents.
It is hereditary and don't bother telling me that it probably didn't skip my generation, I already had a Psychiatrist tell me that I fit a DSM diagnosis. | 4,381 |
7,162,655 | Another coward with a gun...the very definition of a gang banger. What we really need is easier access to guns for the mentally challenged and mentally ill. Guns are simply too easy for nutcase to obtain and hoard. I never can understand or grasp why the right is so opposed to background checks and tests (mental?) to d... | 4,382 |
7,107,870 | And TimG2, how many of those young soldiers were slaughtered, maimed, or returned with completely fractured psyches that never recovered? Why would we wish that upon anyone ? Why would we ever lord it over subsequent generations? My grandfather fought in WWII in the faint hope that a saner, kinder and more peaceful wor... | 4,383 |
7,114,675 | No, the common denominator is guns. They all had guns. Mental illness is a lame excuse for putting the blame where it really belongs - easy access to guns.
And your claim about registered democrats being responsible for mass murders and assassinations in the US, you got that from Hedgecock's radio show and the claim ha... | 4,384 |
7,009,298 | They were showing the struggle to convince some homeless people in Florida, to go to a shelter. Many of these people are addicted to drugs or alcohol. In addition most suffer some form of mental illness. The shelters are available, but they have no sense of demise. | 4,385 |
7,145,219 | Looks like the mentally ill Dr. Deb Frisch has reemerged using her Silverstein pseudonym.
I thought Civil Comments was going to be better than Disqus, RG Editorial board. Why am I not surprised?
On a tangent, my wife and I were pulled over by a recklessly driving Blake Dornbusch way back when he was a volunteer reser... | 4,386 |
7,072,623 | Because its part of treatment they receive for PTSD after combat. Many soldiers male and female who suffer from PTSD lose the ability to have sex. The military is simply attempting to help replace an ability that they were partially responsible for taking away due to sending soldiers into combat. Its not about just get... | 4,387 |
7,125,173 | Mental health records rnt open just as medical records r not. Just bkaz someone has mental health issues doesnt mean that they rnt responsible enuf to have a gun. Also someone that passed muster and got a gun can have mental health issue pop up that werent an issue b4. If u stopped people that r n mental health counsel... | 4,388 |
7,086,792 | You have no basis to diagnose him as mentally ill nor to spin him as a victim who was pushed over the edge by Canada's generous welcome of refugees. You really believe that makes the government the real killer? Really? Then why does it matter if he is mentally ill or not? You seem one step away from rationalizing any v... | 4,389 |
7,182,602 | Are these people homeless by choice? It is apparent most of them have mental disorders and substance abuse issues. Both related. Why should they be shuttled around the area as to maintain their habits and leave their afflictions untreated? Seems like a dog chasing its tail scenario.
Why not round them up, evaluate each... | 4,390 |
7,134,838 | There are no rehab facilities; there are no mental health facilities; there are not enough trained people to deal with this mess. This is what happens when you close mental institutions, take away professional help, keep that welfare payment down and just see people lose themselves. Plus BC gets the drug dependent peop... | 4,391 |
7,162,036 | Political correctness is the major weakness that is exploited in the western world. I have a mental illness, I am drug addicted, no one likes me and so on. Planning a terrorist act of the type that these individuals were involved in is extensive and well thought out. It would be beyond the capability of a mentally ill ... | 4,392 |
7,117,327 | She's a dementia patient. She doesn't have the mental wherewithal to make that decision and he doesn't have POA to spring her. | 4,393 |
7,143,484 | what person, "in their right mind," (and that excludes people with mental or addictions problems0 would not opt for a better life than to be homeless? | 4,394 |
7,066,906 | Most kids by the time they're 7 stop believing in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. That these idiot girls at age 12 believed in Slender Man, despite how unrealistic his body proportions were...we can't blame this on the Internet. No 12 year old before the invention of the Internet actually believed th... | 4,395 |
7,059,226 | Hello Doug and Prairee Girl,
Hello?
Sorry, nope, still not seeing your point IN RELATION TO what the original post stated.
Look, you are both cheerleading for having people with traumatic stress from the violence of war to seek mental health counseling. All fine and good, but what on Earth does that have to do with ... | 4,396 |
7,068,659 | I live right down the road from this place & honestly I'm super insulted by the God posts! God had nothing to do with this & forcing your personal religious beliefs on the community is just as selfish! Shame on you all who bring God into this! This is a clear case of mental health issues! I wouldn't be surprised if the... | 4,397 |
7,169,138 | Faith Myers and Dorrance Collins use a false analogy between (1) police response to young men who are experiencing mental health problems and (2) procedures for hospitalizing chronically mentally ill people who are experiencing psychotic episodes. Alaska police departments need to seriously reconsider their "shoot fir... | 4,398 |
7,044,131 | The idea that vaccinations cause autism is so unlikely, especially as it is a mental disorder probably caused by some kind of brain chemistry.
There's also the question of whether parents should be allowed not to vaccinate their children. It could be construed as criminal neglect or failure to provide the means of lif... | 4,399 |
7,176,450 | I want to see more proof than what she gave 5 years ago which was nothing & 5 years after the fact when he toyed with the idea of running. The only proof was given was by her family and it was regarding her (she has mental issues aka nuts). Ya know, from what I gather "trying" is different from "doing", my goodness ... | 4,400 |
7,037,122 | Well, from the mugshot, there does appear to be a minor contusion on Boucher's lower lip, but his apparent lack of injury relative to Rand Paul's is consistent with an abush attack of some kind.
The puzzler is that Boucher does not seem to have a prior history of violent behavior - not that it would be unheard of for ... | 4,401 |
7,155,967 | In America those choosing to go without are for the most doing so are in need of health care for mental illness, drug addiction or alcoholism, and often, a combination of these. So, again we are back to health care as a right | 4,402 |
7,097,375 | Just because in the past people's mental health was disregarded, doesn't mean that it was right. From my experiences and observations, it created a generation of adults who are miserable and unable to deal with their emotions or admit when they are in need of help. There is a reason suicide rates are so high, and if in... | 4,403 |
7,056,098 | I think you might be confusing infantile behaviour with mental retardation. | 4,404 |
7,194,482 | You need to brush up on your science. Major medical organizations, like the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association, say being transgender is not a mental disorder. You're equating "gender dysphoria" with mental disorder and mental illness. WRONG!
Gender dysphoria is a state of emotional dist... | 4,405 |
7,009,215 | Yeah, how about journalists that donlt subject us to their mental illness becaue they don't like how an election turned out. | 4,406 |

7,032,050 | Elizabeth: You're quite right.....This is such a huge, difficult and contentious problem that there are no hard, let alone, easy solutions.
You're also right with you comment regarding the need for "choices" for the homeless and impoverished. There are so many different causes of homelessness and poverty that many... | 4,408 |
7,047,653 | Apparantly nowhere, according to you.
A mentally ill woman was pregnant and gave birth, by herself without medical aid in freezing weather, and baby dies. Whoopdie doo, no big deal. Nobody else had "responsibility" for her or baby, so why care? Empathy is so outmoded. Modern human interaction should be entirely tran... | 4,409 |
7,164,765 | Thanks for the article. I find it to be light on ideas but heavy on hyperbole. You say that these latest measures are inhumane. I agree with you, yet I still support the sit-lie ban with all its flaws and legal pitfalls. Let's discuss better alternatives.
Regarding your three tiered propaganda system, these are my ini... | 4,411 |
7,045,141 | Many of the inmates are mentally ill, have intellectual problems, have been traumatized and are people who should have gotten help long ago. Many also grew up in horrible situations and got no help. Then add harsh laws, no drug rehab, horrible health care including behavioral health and they come into contact with law ... | 4,412 |
