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.

i say yes and no on this one. i would say yes because some people are really bad mentally, if they are, then they should be about to get something done to help, if its not bad, and they can do their own thing, they shouldn't go too deep in it.
@9RMJHJ8Republican11mos11MO
Yes, and it should recognize that transgender people are mentally ill and shouldn’t be encouraged to carve up their bodies to make themselves feel better.
@9H4W9GJRepublican2yrs2Y
No, mental healthcare has proven to be ineffective. Find other means to treat it such as natural community development.
@9H3YWLVRepublican2yrs2Y
Options 1 and 5 are both fine by me: I think the issue should be researched more, but I don't particularly care by whom. As long as they get the job done, of course.
@9FHN492Republican 2yrs2Y
No, Mental health issues are mostly caused from social issues in our society, and it would be less costly and more effective to address the problems from the root instead of throwing money and drugs at it.

Yes, especially for children and parents of said children.

Give funding to the states who in-turn disperse the funds to local counties and municipalities. This localized focus allows elected official on the local level to tackle the issue, for they know what to do best in their own communities.
