re: How bad can it possibly be? How can someone with their whole life ahead of them

Good clinical help is hard to find especially in rural areas. Mental health centers are understaffed. And no one is gonna go to school for decades, build up a hundred grand in school loans and then work for free.

See, that is were the problem is. Insurance companies only pay for X amount of days a year for mental care. BUT, if someone is hospitalized for falling and breaking there neck, they will pay for all care as long as needed.

That needs to be changed. That is why in a early post I stated the there should be some course taught in mid or high school to inform people of metal problems. Not only to save life's, but also to bring out and change how mental people care is given. It's still a taboo field of medical care that is still kept in the closet.
