Better insurance for one. Couselors and therapists with better qualifications and that actually care. Facilities that can better handle the different types of mental disabilities.

i honestly thought the health care system was better than it was in the uk, that is why i wanted to emigrate there
Great question. One thing there should be a country wide set of rules and regulations. believe it or not your treatment depends on where you live. And greater varity of dr’s for people who are on assistance ie. medicaid. Seems to me that the dr’s who are taking medicaid are opting to keep their patients either too medicated or just enough to keep them bound to them. Here is my example. I am originally from NH. was diagnosed with bipolar1, bpd, anxiety, ocd, pstd and agoraphobic. In the state of NH i was taking lamictal for my bipolar and was doing ok. and I was taking seriquil for my racing thoughts when i couldnt sleep. i had a quantity of 60 per script and that lasted me a good 6 months or so. so i move to PA. and it takes a while to get an appt etc. only one place in my city scranton pa that takes medicaid that im aware of which is scranton counseling. after a month of waiting i get an appt. i tell him all the meds i was taking and this is what i got in return starting on the lamictal and something called geodon which i was to take every night before bed and the warning were watch your blood sugar. well I dont want to have to take a pill every night because i have a 2 y/o and dont want to be out of it every night. that is why the seriquil lasted so long. I asked about this and was told that seriquil is an addictive drug that all drugs are addictive and that this center doesnt prescribe seriquil. that is aweful. when you wait in this waiting room and you walk down the street you see alot of people just out of it its a scary place to go for me being agoraphobic and all and i think they just keep these poor people hanging becuase they are making money from the system.
