A couple weeks ago I received a letter from a PW reader I'll call Jackie. She'd long suspected she might suffer from bipolar disorder and depression, but hadn't pursued it. When she went to her "regular" doctor for something unrelated, he gave her a prescription for Prozac, and she was amazed by the positive effect it had on her mood--without any side effects. It wasn't the first time someone asked me that. Without health insurance, people tend to feel adrift, as if they're operating outside the grid. I emailed Jackie a list of resources I culled from the website of the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania (MHASP). Then I didn't expect to hear anything.

Presidents Ford and Reagan and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords were all attacked by people with untreated serious mental . In spite of the risk to public safety and homeland security posed by letting some people with serious mental go untreated, the federal agency charged with helping them is instead working to see they don't get the treatments they need. That's one reason the newly formed debt-reduction supercommittee should eliminate the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The other is money: The agency receives $3 billion annually. SAMHSA was founded to "reduce the impact of .. mental on America's communities" by "target[ing] . mental health services to the people most in need." Families of people such as Shayne Riggleman, who went off m...
