[quote=Anonymous]Solutions? The problems of mental illness are all slightly different in the major categories like bipolar, PTSD, brain injury and dementia. Substance abuse I’m not sure what to do if it’s the only issue.

I believe the biggest barrier for serious mental illness is when the patient has anosognosia, or lack of awareness of their own illness. Until you’ve seen someone with the lack of awareness you’ll think it’s denial. It’s not.  They do not think they’re ill. Videos of their ill behavior won’t convince them either. Some psychiatrist in the 1950s had three patients with Jesus beliefs and all three thought the other two were crazy, but not the speaker! These types of patients are by far the hardest to treat and have them stay on meds. On medication persons with schizophrenia and bipolar can avoid delusions but will still have mental challenges and low energy.

And our legal system assume that the person knows what they’re doing and states their desired preferences.  Legal help for desperate families to gain guardianship in severe cases with regular court review. Removal of crazy HIPAA barrier to family access. Stop housing the mentally ill in jails.

Stop wasting time on stigma awareness of mental illness. Everyone knows about these serious and disturbing attacks.[/quote]
