The real issue with mental health starts with general practitioners/primary doctors. They should not have the ability to prescribe mental health medication. If you are someone that has a real mental health issue, general practitioners should be required by law to refer their patients to professionals in that field before handing out antidepressants, uppers, downers, and any other behavior modification meds. You could argue that Psychiatrists should be the only doctors that can prescribe that sort of medication. This leads to all sorts of other issues, also, as psychiatrists are more than happy to dish that type of shit out like candy, and now you have a mental health record that will follow you all your life.
