I have recently decided that our healthcare system is not set up to help everyone. I know that for someone with a mental illness who goes to the ER, they can not get the help that they need. Whats even worse is the fact that the doctors can release them even if they are not stable. This is scary, how can a doctor release someone that could possibly be a danger to themselves. What I have found out is that in order to get help it takes having the police department contacted and having a report filed in order to get this person into a hospital for mental illness. This needs to change, More hospitals need to have the means to treat someone with a mental illness. In most areas, there is not a hospital that can treat mental illness and do not understand how serious this can be. There is not enough attention paid to this problem. I know someone that had a family member who begged for help and did not receive any help at all and before he could get the help he wanted he ended his life. This did not need to happen. If our healthcare system was set up to help those in need this person would have gotten the treatment he needed to be able to have a happy healthy life.
