my understanding is that person would not get any aid, because he can work

the current system is if you can work, even if you are messed up, no aid. You have to be so messed up you cannot work, to get full aid.

so a binary

i mean my mom has cerebral palsy and got SS but not the full amount someone that was completely unable to work got.

really? Hmm. Never heard of that, I've heard of differences caused by ssi vs ssdi...

You can be deemed incompetent by the state and get a lot, incompetentcy can just be idiocy which is terrible in my opinion. Should just be mental handicaps

That is another thing, mental health is a major issue that just gets band aids on it.

sure, but a lot of that is still not well understood, and is a lot of trial by error.

doesn't mean nothing should be done, ofc.

That's the thing, is it should be worked towards being well understood

NO, we need the perfect solution... Reeee

the brain isnt really fully understood tho so mental issues are harder to deal with

of course then theres the generation coming up that thinks they have every condition in the book and just make it harder to understand what causes each condition and how to treat it

That's the thing, there is not as big a push to get better understanding as their should be

Where should the push be taking place that it isn't?

I mean, is it at the pay/funding level, the science/technology level, etc.

I would say those are included

Even just implementing what is known

Still not sure where you think the push should be happening that it's not. Implementing what is known?

Unicorn Riot called the Portland protests' Patriot Prayer alt-right 🤔

Pretty sure they're just christian right...

But fuck that, anyone you disagree with is alt-right, right?

unicorn riot was streaming from portland

I remember them from Justice4Jamar

I thought anyone who wasn't a socialist was considered alt-right nowadays, including the moderate left and centrists?

Many people don't know how to manage their mental disorders, and people around them don't know how to look for it or manage it either.

So, what do you want to happen? You want people to be more educated or care more?

Yes

for one

How do you plan for that to happen?

Generally awareness campaigns is what is used for that

oh

Have they not had those or are they not working?

There is a mental health awareness month, I don't think it has been as effective as it needs to be.

I guess there needs to be more or better activist and lobbyist groups to be more effective.

Perhaps less negativity associated with treatment.

Sure, you do not want people who have issues to be afraid of getting treatment.

Then there is the issue of funding. And that goes into healthcare argument.

Well the issue with healthcare is that people care more about healthcare insurance than they do healthcare.

I think it's a complicated issue.
