Yep… as someone who works in the human services field(2 years of which was in the mental health field). Pennsylvania and America in general treats mental illnesses like a joke. Human services in general are underfunded, but compared to developmental disability/autism services it’s even more underfunded than those. Then there is just the fact that so many people struggle with even the most basic of healthcare. Many people being “not sick enough” or making just enough above poverty to not qualify for Medicaid and private insurance not covering even the most barebones of mental health related services… Medicaid for all could do so much to rectify the situation. But that means challenging the stranglehold that private health insurance companies have on this country.
