Barbara, thank you again for your post and continuation of my thread, and the continuation of your husband’s work.
A knowledgeable advocate with a voice like yours getting involved is very helpful.
I don’t think anyone is certain where\when\how the site will be utilized, so, FYI I don’t have a sense of direction other than to structure the ideas and figure out the most expedient and explicit way to expose the National mental health crises. In doing my own filtering: I am quite convinced that there are a few spheres that should be treated as priorities where mental health is concerned.
It all starts with corruption of the sciences. A merging of a government regime and institutions of research, and publishing.
- Politicized and Overfunded Education System
- Health Solutions for Densely Populated Areas = Daily Living must be Simpler = Restoring the Middle Class
- Restoring this Classical Liberal concept: Life, Liberty, and pursuit of [SANITY].
- Medicalized treatment plans hooking us on Big Pharma where Psychoanalysis could be more effective
- Demystifying Therapy as pseudoscience, establishing pragmatic, scientific approaches and disposing of fabricated, politicized nonsense
- Health Insurance is heavily influencing treatment plans and corporations. The “Customer Service” Model for mental health care wholly misguided as long as it accepts any nonsense under-the-sun as “Effective”.
- There is simply not enough attention on this subject. We are all noticing the lunacy around us, but the pathway to the root causes is wholly obstructed by existential issues like Global Wars and Divisive cultural phenomena that are imminent.
For example, Mental Health was BARELY addressed in the Trump Campaign, for example. This isn’t a critique, but an objective reality. RFK Jr. was the most vocal on this issue during his own presidential campaign. So I am hoping he will be able to initiate some necessary measures for this from within, and we will witness incremental change.
I am definitely not an expert, just an outside observer trying to process the situation - I wish I knew more about the in-roads within the government, the activity of organizations, tracking the money flow, the bad actors involved. But it is quite clear to me that we have systemic corruption of institutions.
Lawyers, doctors, coordinations, authors, practitioners, and whistleblowers etc. have A LOT to offer the new administration so I hope figures like your husband are relied on. Make copies of his notes!
I’m curious, what was Dr. Whitfield doing exactly, at the CDC?
