Dr. Ablow, a psychiatrist who writes for Fox News, tells it as it is:
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/12/17/why-cant-america-care-for-mentally-ill/
From the article:
Some will say that gun control is the answer, but that ignores the obvious: Too many guns isn’t the issue; too little mental health care is.
We now have a mental health care system that simply ignores those among us who suffer with incapacitating symptoms of psychiatric illness and whose suffering can—only in a very, very small percentage of cases, thankfully—lead to terrible violence.
Focusing on gun control does more than squander the time and effort of our public officials and state resources and town police forces, it distracts us dangerously from the real work that must be done.
America’s mental health care system is shattered and on its knees.
