I'm convinced that we can shape a different future for this country as it relates to mental health and as it relates to suicide.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe the future of our country can be really great.
For many centuries, suicides were treated like criminals by the society. That is part of the terrible legacy that has come down into society's method of handling suicide recovery. Now we have to fight off the demons that have been hanging around suicide for centuries.
I can't help but believe that at some time in the not-too-distant future, there is going to be another movement to change these systemic conditions of poverty, injustice, and violence in people's lives. That is where we've got to go, and it is going to be a struggle.
We must urge a national dialogue on better methods of curbing preventable gun violence, and address the need for mental health awareness and access to psychiatric services in this country.
Mental illness leaves a huge legacy, not just for the person suffering it but for those around them.
We need, ultimately, to be able to view mental health with the same clear-headedness we show when talking about physical health.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
If we, in the future, have confidence in ourselves, then there's no limit to what we can achieve, and I think the depressing litany... that we hear from the Remain side is not the type of approach we should take into the future.
Yes, this is 21st-century America. Where we have better means to treat mental illness than ever before, but choose to let the insane people decide to get it or not.
I'm still thinking and hoping there's an opportunity for people to have better lives and that significant change can occur.
