Myself, I believe government should play a role in helping the mentally ill. Alot of those folks families dont have the finances, education, or resources, or knowledge of resources to deal. ANd many times its like WHAT RESOURCES? WHat successful resource? I have a nephew who has suffered for years from a very early age of mental illness. It took years to diagnose him, and unless you have dealt with this kind of situation, you have no idea what kind of crisis this creates for families. Families who have the money or even the knowledge. Excellent programs are needed for these people. It is a devastating crisis, that effects everyone. Society, families, the individual. SOmetimes a very dangerous problem. I dont know if its coincidence or not, but my nephew is almost 30 now, and only in this 4 years as Obama as president, have these programs improved with better diagnosing, and placements, and treatments. As far as Im concerned, it is governments place to GOVERN these programs without successful programs, it is a matter of safety. Mental health is nothing to play with, it can cause devastating problems in society, as the news has educated us. This is a problem that cant be ignorred, and Obama gets my vote. Unless one is directly affected, most times people dont care. Let it go ignorred, it will affect people in the long run even if they have ZERO mental illness in their families. I am talking about the worst case scenerios and they do happen.
