Before this website created this Collections feature, I was already building my own policy collections, which now exist in the comment-section of MAHA for Mental Health .
Here is the list of Policy Collections that are within the thread as of now.
Impact of Pornography
Upgrading Diagnostics: Brain Imaging, etc.
Nutrition, Chemicals, & Environmental Toxins on Brain Health
MASA: Veteran Care
Early Education: Self-analysis, Self-reliance, Self-discipline
Integrated Support Systems for: First-Responders, Intense jobbers, College Students
Maybe this is covered under one of the bulleted items and I missed it but I’m seeing a lot of psychosis related to the election of Donald Trump. These women particularly have been brainwashed to believe he is a monster who is going to cause them to die if they conceive. It’s truly a tragedy. They are angry, afraid, drawing inward rather than reaching out, cutting off family members who they see as DJT supporters/voters. How do we correct this? They wouldn’t self report because they see themselves as normal and us as the problem. They need reeducating. About a lot of things.
Just give it a little time to correct course and within the year they will be able to buy affordable groceries again. They don’t know it but it’s a temporary delusional illness and it’s not something that will be multigenerational.
Policies for transitioning from sole pharma-based treatment to new advances in treatment modalities, nutrition awareness, as well as new technologies such as medbeds, scala energy etc. with the goal of each person becoming productive in contributing their talents and skills. And the provision of more safe, nurturing living environments.
As a former Special Education Teacher and parent to kids with emotional/behavioral disorders, I feel a policy for a better rehabilitation programs should be made and that we institute mental health long-term care facilities again, but unlike the old asylums that were abusive and torturous. Our crime went up when they closed those down and threw millions of people on the street and homeless and unable to access resources. We have increased knowledge and technology so much that this should not be an issue.
As a teacher of some of the most severe behaviors and mental state, that sadly, most teachers could pinpoint who would be imprisoned or sadly dead after graduation or dropping out of school. Also, I was injured by a student due to explosive behaviors, which left me with a mild traumatic brain injury and 2 years later led to a disorder called functional neurological disorder, which took my career, freedom, ability to drive or afford to live on my own and most recently, court ordered that my daughter was to live with her father. The entire legal system has messed with my life.
If we had policies in place, these kids could be taught in long term care facilities upon the first signs of abnormal harmful behavior and could get the medical and educational and mental care they need in order to live and succeed in a normal life. A person instituted with all individual needs could stay until goals were met and not be thrown out in the streets, but enter a probation so type of period with daily to weekly to monthly check ins with medical professionals and social workers to become successful without the fear of not having support or resources.
As I have written countless papers and have had years of research in this issue, I know firsthand that the majority of prisoners, criminals, felons/misdemeanors are committed by those with mental illness, which is totally preventable.
I’m not a policy maker, but I do know what it takes to help and teach skills to those with emotional/behavioral disorders and if they aren’t taught, then who can expect them to perform normally in society? This would help the healthcare industry, economy, crime, and so much more!
