Since when has the practice of medicine been an exact science?  You claim that mental illness is a subjective disorder.  Many of the disorders can actually be seen with a variety of tests and scans of the brain.  Are you saying that someone diagnosed with schizophenia or bipolar or major depression or autism for that matter shouldn't be allowed to same access to health care as someone who has broken a bone?

With the exception of autism, yes; that is my opinion.

Wow pretty strong opinions. As someone who has dealt with serious depression since the age of 5, I think medical coverage is necessary. I don't have any right now and it's a pain in the ass paying $97 a month for them. Some will say many bad things about the mental health profession, but I can tell you I feel a whole lot worse without meds. I started taking them in Straight and quit when I graduated. I didn't want to be labeled "crazy". Just started taking them last year and I feel a little better. Therapy really didn't do shit for me though.

Deborah:
I imagine it is a pain in the ass to pay that price, especially since people in other countries are paying far less.

It's also a pain in the ass for other people to pay for their nutritional supplements every month, which are not covered, and then to have to contribute to the cost of other's psych drugs- every time they pay a premium.

What does serious depression look like in a 5 year old???

I agree, there are alot of ineffective therapists out there, one has to search hard to find a good one.

I could say a lot of things about it, but don't feel so comfortable over here disclosing it due to an idiot replying sick things to my posts. Not sure if that question is serious or sarcastic, but I had a lot of shit going on in my life starting in that time period.
