Semi-on-topic in our Human Resources class we're talking about how DE has basically shut down all of its mental health institutes. There is really nowhere for people to go around here for mental illnesses in and of themselves; however, there are combination places where one can go for addiction + illnesses. There's also a place that closed along the MD shoreline that served 5 counties. If these places are closing around down here how are we going to get mental help for veterans coming back home to these places? Sad ****. We get all the forwarded emails about "supporting our troops" and "stand behind our troops and if you don't want to stand behind them then stand in front of them" yet mental health places are closing around here left and right. Where do they go if they suffer so? I hope she's doing better now..
I believe vets can get treatment at VA hospitals. Yep. The whole thing should make people in the press as a whole ashamed.
probably, but that doesn't make it okay for the others to be completely ignored. This lady and the others should have been just as big a deal IMO. I'm glad she's getting better and hope she can have a successful life outside of the military....
so they either discriminated because of age, because she ugly or because of her race, or a combination of all of the above. Any of these make you feel better??
Seriously, a soldier is a soldier, to me. I just felt the fact that one of them being a teenage girl and the other a grown woman, was an important issue being left out.
Florida is pretty much the same way. Mental health care in this country is a serious problem. I can't tell you how angry it makes me when I hear people like Nancy Grace say "So and so wasn't crazy, I don't wanna hear that BS". Well, Nancy, who is crazy then? We have this idea in our heads of a mentally ill person as someone who talks in tongues and throws their **** against the wall. It just isn't so. People are very ignorant about it. It's even worse for our troops. They seem to be easily forgotten once they return from action.
