Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

Therapy and counseling should be free . A person cannot be physically healthy if they are mentally ill. Mental health care should be included in universal health care. We need to be researching mental illness more and give more funding so people who are in need get quality therapy. Diagnosing mental disorders should be free as well.

Yes, Only if the treatment will be provided at near cost and be released to the public domain after a period of no longer then 10 years.

No. Healthcare is under Provincial jurisdiction. The federal govt should not be involved at all. Cut the taxes, close the ministry, get the feds out of the province’s business entirely.

i dont have a problem with mental heatlh as long as they mental dont cause problems with me

Yes, but it may be more complex than funding. The current collective state of mental health feels as though it may be indicative of a broader social issue tied to factors related to quality of life.

no increase or decrease

Absolutely. I've lost far too many good friends/family to mental illness

The funding for mental health research now, in my opinion, is enough. It doesn't need to be increased nor decreased.

Yes, however don’t fund gender re assignment surgeries. Or sexual identity counseling.

Yes, That would probably help doctors and other people who help with that stuff find ways to help people with mental illnesses.

No, it should be free

No because the current system is the main reason that mental health is a bigger issue than ever before. Tweak the economic system.

I am unfamiliar with the current funding of the government towards mental health and treatment and will remain neutral.

No stance, neutral.

Yes after we lower our defecit.

yes and no so a fixed rate

no, we should focus our money more on newer sicknesses instead of focusing on past mental health which we seem to have figured out very well, i believe we should focus on cancers and major sicknesses instead of mental health

the illuminate is everywhere

the government doesn't need to fund mental health disorders they just pump you with drugs even though there's a natural way to deal with it

Yes, and education should be a partner in health and well being with an early focus on interpersonal skill set development, self awareness, self soothing, self regulation, delay gratification, problem solving and communications. These are the fundamental tools for safe and healthy relationship building, key to supporting overall health and well being. We need to see mental haleth as part of, not separate from physical health.

Covid-19 research

i need understand where funding is going before increasing or decreasing it
