People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better.

I'm by no means condemning prescription medicine for mental health. I've seen it save a lot of people's lives.

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.

From wearable sensors to video game treatments, everyone seems to be looking to technology as the next wave of innovation for mental health care.

There is no fun in psychiatry. If you try to get fun out of it, you pay a considerable price for your unjustifiable optimism.

Many people think it's in bad taste to advertise for an insane asylum... but come on down. We're going crazy.

For mental illnesses, we need better access to treatment and diagnosis.

I'm a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are.

We must bring the issue of mental illness out into the sunlight, out of the shadow, out of the closet, deal with it, treat people, have centers where people can get the necessary help.

I don't like the term 'mental illness.' I'd rather just say 'mad.' Just like I always say 'loony bin,' not 'mental hospital.'
