I've noticed the mental health system in the United States is not reliable much at all. If you want to see a Psychiatrist, Psychologist, or even go to a mental health facility, you're told to wait for months at times due to a "waiting list." We're talking people who are struggling really bad mentally and are being told to wait months for care. This "waiting list" should not exist when it comes to millions of people struggling mentally. This can lead to countless people to take their lives, especially young people, creating a rift and mistrust in the purpose of mental health facilities and professionals. I'm proposing the US Congress to introduce a bill that would ban "waiting lists" for mental health patients, especially severe cases, provide more funding to hospitals to bring in mental health professionals at all hospitals to get fast care and to mental health facilities to handle the epidemic of mental health problems in the young and old. More has to be done by the US Government to handle the mental health crisis in the United States a lot better than they are right now, especially with COVID-19 leading to countless mental health patients.
