Program Summary And Objectives: “Millions of American today receive health care for mental or substance-use problems and illnesses. These conditions are the leading cause of combined disability and death of women and the second highest of men.” “Improving the Quality of health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions,” Institute of Medicine Report, November 1, 2005; Studies are showing an alarming trend, incidents of mental illness related to drug use are on the rise. It’s unclear what came first, did a predisposition to mental illness lead to drug use, or is it the other way around? No matter what, co-occurring disorders are a problem. Especially in the wake of this year’s hurricanes and other disasters, mental health and substance abuse professionals need to be poised to provide additional care for those suffering serious mental trauma and who may turn to alcohol and drugs as a result. During this hour-long broadcast, hear from treatment providers about the delicate balance between treating a person’s addiction and his or her mental illness. We’ll also learn about the stigma attached to mental illness and how coalitions can help fight it. Hear from representatives of the American Psychiatric Association about the group’s advocacy of comprehensive and non-discriminatory health insurance coverage of mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Learning Objectives: Define co-occurring disorders; Learn about the difficulty treating co-occurring disorders; Discover solutions to the problems both communities and patients face; See how community-based organizations can help improve the local climate to assist those in recovery from substance use disorders and mental health problems;

    Being locked out of society for no good reason is quite an education, though. I’m checking myself now – because I ought to know by now that this is all just a waste of time.

    And people DIE …
    And people DIE because psychiatry kills people! You see it every day, everywhere you go, and explain it away as the “disease” they want you to believe in (VICTIMS must be blamed! Must be always the victim’s own fault for whatever happens!) your life is a lot easier when you go along with them, isn’t it? They want to send you to school, but keep ME out of them no matter what — all for being born to the wrong family. You don’t even know you are dancing with the devil. You don’t even know.

    I’m the mentally deficient one because YOU are taking drugs for a disorder that doesn’t even EXIST?? That’s a trip. Justification for thinking a way usually comes because of life experiences. This is about convenience — people being disregarded & discarded, making people SOCIALLY disabled for LIFE. You run with the quacks that torture and rob and rape and kill, and I’m the “sick” one. Whatever. Get help. Help yourself like everyone else has to.

    Sure, all the nasty …
    Sure, all the nasty crap I been put through is just “delusion”. Not REAL like the struggles people gave you. Whatever. And being prosperous in a race of pillagers doesn’t prove truth. It could mean you were born with some opportunities & it could mean you’re just good at pillaging. Either or, I see too many prosperous people excusing the pillaging of innocent people, and that might as well be participation. If U don’t get it, you don’t want to — and you don’t have to, either.

    yo – YOU are sick. Delusional? Where were you during all the crazy sick that’s been done to me? No, asshole. YOU are sick. It’s a delusion to pretend that poverty and injustice doesn’t exist and that the human race are robots that run on pharmacy chemicals. That’s called COPPING OUT.

    NOT ALLOWED …
    NOT ALLOWED assistance (help) of ANY kind – no affordable housing, no right to attend college, no right to legal assistance or protection of any kind – no freedom to participate in community – never have a family & NOW not ever have children – no right to ever even be heard or believed about ANYTHING – being kidnapped, tortured, robbed & having NO HUMAN RIGHTS – EVER – and the very same people who do all this 2 me throw “GET HELP” INTO EVERY MOMENT OF WHAT THEY DO 2 ME! THAT is what “SICK” is!

    “Get help” is how thousands, even millions of people railroad innocent people, how they demand prostution and drug addiction out of them. “Get help” is how they justify destroying innocents, victims, how they create poverty — justify rape, justify robbery, justify unwarranted attacks & pillaging, justify making people homeless and KEEPING THEM THERE via RACISM (designated social roles – hierarchy) almost 40 years of living and millions of people throw it in my face that I am absolutely NOT

    THERE IT IS! “GET …
    THERE IT IS! “GET HELP” – what every person who ever LIED about me to rape me of my life ALL MY LIFE has always said. That’s about the millionth time somebody raped me of my identity and character. You PRETEND that I’m the sick one & that’s show for everyone who comes along to witness (read) this interaction. I’m the VICTIM, so I LOSE, and all you have to do to win is say those 2 F–ked up words. The only real “Help” 4 my kind is comrades willing to tear down the racist system by any means.

    I was born into a world where I can never have the freedoms U take 4 granted, because my mother made the same mistake that U R making. Currently, your kids have NO future! I’m warning you! Resist terrorism at all costs! No matter how successful I have been in the face of great odds, it’s never enough! Y? Racism! To forever inflict a false identity on the innocent for freedom 2 rob & rape them is SICK, not “help”. Refuse character defamation & prostitution. Liberty & justice 4 ALL!

    So let’s stop making people sick. It’s only because neither of us get the proper responses to our true responses to the sick stuff dumped on us that either of us bother to “rant”.

    We both rant – you speak from YOUR sickness, I speak from my experience. You hop through the sick master’s hoops and get the treats they promised you. (”Treat”-ment) It doesn’t make the established order well. It doesn’t make you well. A person should be judged according to the well-adjusted coping skills they consistently display instead of according to bullying that sick people try to sicken them with. Unfortunately, that’s not how the sick politics of this free-dumb works.

    Who is the one who is ranting? I feel sorry for your kids. I’m sure you make a good student and fit right into a society that thrives on making healthy people sick & poisoning the earth. Congratulations on beinf a success in a race of drug-addicted rats.

    THANKS to the HELP I have received and the medication I take I’m now able to be a father, a husband, a son, and a student. I speak from my experience, you speak from your sickness.

    Once again you show yourself to be mentally deficient, and I hope one day you get the help you need . Until then , shut the f#@k up. People die because they listen to rants like yours. It gives them justification for their own sick thinking. I’m not a token believer in the medical model, I am a recovering addict and I am bipolar.

    If you believe in con artists and rapists because they have medical degrees, then you have a lot of learning to do in this life. Yeah, tell me to shut the f%^k up, but one day you will wake up and realize (too late) what a moron YOU are being… My efforts here are for the benefit of those who still have a life left worth salvaging… some of us have been left to find out things the hard way, thanks to the disinformation caused by people much like yourself.

    Please don’t listen to the morons below! If you have a problem go see a counselor. Maybe you need meds and maybe you don’t, but a professional opinion is much more reliable than these rants.

    Also, please don’t go to doctors. That lady doesn’t know what she’s telling you. They will rape you and leave you a useless heap of blubbering drug-addicted human refuse… doctors are vultures and psychiatric jargon is their best ticket to legalized bloodsucking free-for-all.

    That was def a panic attack. The kind that comes in the middle of the night also has depression in it. Don’t believe it when they tell you they are “incurable” “diseases”. They are normal reactions to something wrong in your life. Find the root cause and make radical life changes. The heart of your mind knows best what you need – listen to it. Chances are your environment is not offering you enuf support. I had a bout with panic 13 years ago, changed my life around & it never came back.

    This video IS a co-occurring illness – supporting the FRAUD that so called “mental health” & psychiatry are! Psychiatry and law enforcement are the CAUSES of TRAUMA, illness, drug use/abuse, identity theft and RAPE. These people are all emotionally disturbed and disordered people who go OUT OF THEIR WAY to create imbalance in society and keep poor people IN THEIR PLACES. Garbage
