God bless you, John and Angie!
I remember the Roosevelt years, the pool closures, the near hysteria. I was an overprotected only child whose Mom kept me away from crowds and pools and anything that might expose me to infection.
Who (John?) has expertise with U-Tube? This would be an excellent time to use the forum of the presidential debates to ask some hard questions of the candidates.
Let us bombard the news media with our bipolar battle cry.....ENOUGH! WE HAVE BEEN IGNORED TOO LONG!! There needs to be money from all the pork barrels in Congress siphoned off to research on mental illness.
No more bridges to nowhere, please!
As someone who has worked within the healthcare field for over 20 years, I'm with you John. Things do evolve, although slowly. Sadly, changes are often driven by third party payors who fund the outcome-based research. I am too tired tonight tonight to evaluate to impact of voters on mental health issues, but everyone: respond so we can get a dialogue going.
