Virginia vs. Iraq

[wendybeth]

I can't speak for other areas, but ours has been hard hit by mental health cuts. Between the cuts that not only limit but actually prohibit help, and the HEPA laws, etc, the lunatics are running the show. I know whereof I speak here- my mother is off the charts and we can't do **** about it, even though she tried to kill someone in a nursing home a while back. We can't make her take her meds or live in a decent place, and finally we had to distance ourselves or go nuts along with her. The professor, I think her name is Roy, expressed disbelief at the impotency the system had with this obvious time bomb, and I share her frustration.
