In July 2022 the federal government approved a $21 billion funding package for mental-health and substance-use disorders. The spending package was in response to a jump in substance abuse and a suicide rate that increased 33% from 1999 through 2017, making it the 10th-leading cause of death in the U.S, according to the most recent federal data.

The government should not look to either increase or decrease funding, it should instead look to make it more efficient.
Yes, mental health should be as well-funded as physical health and merged into a broader single-payer system
Yes, our mental health system should be assimilated into a broader single-payer system so it can always be accessible to those who need it
Yes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services, while primarily (80% for example) increasing funding of personalized care.

Yes, especially for teens and young adults
Yes, but decide how much at a state level
Yes, mental health conditions are very misunderstood and if people actually took more time and money to figure them out they'd be more understood and people wouldn't be discriminated on for a mental health issue.
Yes because mental illnesses are just getting bigger and bigger communities and needs to be stopped.
No but make black slavery legal for personal health care no one should pay for personal health care their the perfect servents their bubbley obedient
I am unaware if there is a need for research funding but I feel mental health treatment should be 100% covered by insurance plans just like routine preventitive medicine is.
We need to heavily scrutinize current psychological research standards. This area needs effective funding not to be the money hole that it is.
