This might be a somewhat controversial opinion, but our society really needs to find better long-term help for mental illness, besides throwing people on meds, reassuring them they'll get better on them and then unleashing them upon an uncaring world.

I find it hard to believe that with all the knowledge and creativity we possess as humans, we cannot do any better than drugs that cause all kinds of side effects and may make things worse down the line. Yeah, yeah, I know Pharma companies control this stuff, but does it have to be this way?
