No one likes to ask for help but it`s there for the asking and you`ll be amazed at the possible new opportunities that may be available. I particularly like Catholic Charities (I`m not catholic either) because the`re involved in all aspects of life. They can help with food, clothing ,utilities, job assistance, finnancial planning (I know that`s a joke from personal experience) to child care and more. Please reach out, there ARE people willing to help. As far as mental health is concerned, we have our thoughts, but I have benefited greatly from crisis centers and know a few people with high education, high professional fields that had to reach out. Crisis centers keep confidential where a physican has to make reports, so a position in a community , coworkers, family, friends don`t have to know.The sigma has caused many of us to lose our careers because we had to reach out for help and it ended up digitally and on paper. I hope congress can change that too. ask for help! michelle/ august 11,2009 You have a lot “on your plate” right now, may I encourage you to turn to your local church to help you?

I also would love to see more discussion about PTSD. This condition is rampant in our returning soldiers and is contributing to the highest suicide rate our military has seen. The public needs to be educated about this debilitating condition. Nan Excellent idea Lynda! I also would love to see more discussion about PTSD.

Some would argue they are making it worse. Not only giving more funds toward mental health, but addressing the subject of mental health and how important it is to get assessed and treated, like if you had something wrong with your foot. You would go to the doctor, but people are hesitant to mention to their own doctor - let alone see a specialist - that they may be severely depressed or have a mental health problem. People continue to see people with bipolar and other disorders as being crazy, mental cases. The people who seek treatment at least know something is wrong and will admit it - there are far too many people walking around that are ticking time bombs because they won't admit they have a problem and get treated. Dr. Phil please stress the importance of mental health and educate the public about the brain imbalances etc. that create these situations. A lot of people believe Asperger's is a mental disorder and not a neurological condition. All of this needs to be discussed more openly.

Too, though, maybe Senator Byrd and other Congress persons could do without one less monument to selves and quit playing with tax dollars hard earned by their fellow Americans like monopoly money to bargain and barter with. THE ONLY SPECIAL INTEREST OF CONGRESS SHOULD BE THE BEST INTEREST OF AMERICA AND AMERICANS. Maybe Congress persons should quit choosing policies based on whatever special interest Lobbies offer the best "personal incentives" to them. The best way to invest in America is to invest Americans. Feel free to quote me whoever wants to as per only special interest and best way to invest in America and, hopefully, Congress will FINALLY practice "HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY" politics.
