I don't even think hospitals should get involved with mental health issues.
they have no idea what to do.
I used to think that, in some distant, better future, people would chuckle at our primitive 21st century mental health care — the difficulty of obtaining it, and the startlingly limited efficacy of any of it.
Just looking around, though, realistically, I no longer think that distant, better future is attainable.
Stay strong, though. Let's survive it alive as long as we can.
This would happen in most southern states (GA resident here). There is almost no decent/real mental health resources here.
