A Setback In The Making

Just as I thought I was beginning to see strides in the mental health sector, here comes a huge setback that will probably ring throughout cities across the US— more cutbacks in the mental health industry.

In an economy this is suffering, I have never understood why certain areas of healthcare have to be cutout. Mental Health services are one of the main services that should go on uninterrupted. In the case of the Lake County’s Mental Health Department, cutting services is on the horizons. The reason for the cutbacks is due to a large deficit the county has because they received too much reimbursement money. You have got to be kidding me.

People who are really in need of help will have to suffer because someone received too much money. None of this makes sense and in my opinion this is just another way to put mental healthcare on the back burner.
