Regulations for discrimination against mental health patients

[Bri7 (Brianna Riley)]

I believe we need to better regulate and enforce the laws that protect people who have mental health barriers. People who have extensive mental health records often times have their physical health conditions undiagnosed or mismanaged due to their record showing their mental health barriers and are thereby discriminated against in a variety of ways. Some of those ways include being told it’s their mental health (it’s all in your head), or by putting the patient through undue stress which can trigger mental health episodes related to mental health disorders.
