@@antisocialdistancing3 Is that a bad thing? Should I be concerned? Quite decent reporting by Vice, though...
Can we talk about the fact that there was already a mental health crisis, BEFORE the pandemic?
Agreed
1000000%
Yes
Yeah COVID it just putting a huge spot light on it
And a loneliness epidemic.
The mental health crisis is more complicated than just "go get help, see a therapist." Society is sick. Our lives are sick. Our minds follow the sickness of this cultureless materialistic reduction of humanity. Meds are not the answer except in extreme situations. Talking to a therapist will only get you so far when the world is crumbling around you. Depression isn't inside YOU. It's inside US
Facts
And people wounder Why? 80s for a start, P Reagan closing state hospitals is one reason.
Bingo.
Exactly my friend
Jesus Christ is the way, truth, and the life. He loves you and wants to give your eternal life
I worry about All the kids and women who are locked down with their abusers
Those are the only people who have any right to complain. Really sad to think about it... hopefully they will seek and get help as soon as this is over.
I love how you accidentally admitted you can't see women as abusers. Nice job lmao
Coming from someone who works in mental health and with abuse/trauma survivors... the things going on behind closed doors right now in some places is terrifying.
Does that explain the increase in Divorce rates?
And men
My mental health this year has been the worst it’s ever been.
Same
I am antisocial person most of the time and I am having a great time but seriously I hop you guys can be happy again and find I job you still want to do still for me I just started Posting my art and many people like it you guys can also find something to do ☺️
Cold comfort, but you’re not alone.
We have to keep strong and make sure to keep wearing masks and social distancing.
Boop on the nose to you! (Big hug) (big smile no mask)
I have no family, no significant other, lost my job due to COVID cuts, & my only friend moved across the country.
My mental health is so bad that my physical health is declining & i’m getting scared.
I watch videos like this & cry both for those who are isolated & not doing well & those who are stuck with unhealthy family and not doing well. the world is starting to feel hopeless.
I’m sorry that this is hitting you so hard. My mental health has been putting me at risk of losing my job and my cognitive abilities have dropped a lot. Please call the National hotline and see if they have any ideas. I don’t know what to do to help but just know you’re not alone!
Try to get out in nature and take a break from the videos. It is amazing how much a hike or a paddle down a river will ground you. Best wishes friend.
@@tedtvshow please send me those banjo videos if poss to halfangelroo@gmail thanks and Blessings your way
I hope the sentiment of "I want you to move in with me" can give you a bit of hope. Because I don't know you or anything but I want to take you in. That sentiment exists now and as long as humanity is around. It extends to our love of animals as well, especially when our fellow humans and ourselves are trying to work through our issues with fear and greed and can't or won't go easy on each other. Go easy on yourself and adopt a pet if you can. Even an animal as insignificant as a rat can bring you some solace.
There is so much pain and suffering and misery going on. It's been the worst year of my life. I'm not alone.
Honestly, the lack of help from the government and the lack of empathy from fellow Americans has been the worst contributors to mine and I'm sure others declining mental health.
It's not just America, its worldwide. Everywhere has the same insincere condescending officials telling us what to do, how this all for the best and that we're in it together when we're clearly fucking not.
Would you care to explain what exactly the government can help with?
@@MrDelsoleg11 Use our money to keep workers afloat while their industries are decimated by a national emergency and organize initiatives that deter virus spread. Like, you know, in other countries where citizens received direct monthly payments, or like in New Zealand where lockdown was done so well that they are back to living their normal lives.
It's like that part in a disaster movie when the rescue plane flies over, and doesn't notice you.
Its the same everywhere. I live in Ontario, Canada and am on disability. Our government, Doug Ford if I'm not mistaken, decided to pay out $2000/mth to those who were out of work due to Covid. $2000/mth the government decided is a suitable living wage while that doesn't even cover rent for most 2bedroom apartments in Toronto. Doug Ford's from Toronto; its not like he's unaware of the rent situation when he was working with his brother, Rob, who used to be Toronto's mayor. (May Rob be resting in peace.) The rent situation is barely any better outside of Toronto. In my city, most 2 bedroom apartments go for about $1600 and up.
Did people on disability or welfare see their checks go up? Seeing as we already receive barely enough to scrape by, and job prospects are more dismal than ever. No. (I still receive less than $1600/mth as a single parent of one.) I am not alone in this struggle, despite being very much on my own. Same for millions across my province, and billions more across the world.
Unfortunately, this is all part of the new world order that politicians and "conspiracy theorists" have been talking about for years. Also part of the depopulation agenda written about in several languages on the Georgia Guidestones. This is why Bill Gates had his Event 201 or whatever it was. This is why our governments are not helping the little guys and why cops are doing more harassing than helping the public, like they WANT a Defund the Police campaign. I could go on, but its way later than I realized and I've already written a novel. Everything happening right now is all about bringing in the NWO aka One World Order, though they may go with a "nicer" sounding name by the time its publicly official and the world will look more like that Songbird movie trailer that blasphemied Bob Marley....
This is scary I literally just got out of the hospital today, 7 days in for attempted suicide. Please stay strong you’re not alone there’s way to many people here on earth that love you, need you.
I hope you are doing better Michael ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i wish you love and peace
Stay strong Michael.
Stay strong people love you
Stay strong, you are definitely not alone.
@michael Trevizo God Bless You
That’s why social distancing should be called “physical distancing”
I know, calling it social distancing I've always thought it's wrong. In Mexico they call it "sana distancia" in spanish which can be translated to "safe distancing" or "healthy distancing" which I think gives an idea of physical distancing but not social
like it makes a diff for a virus
Unfortunately many people are just animalistic they want go out have sex with anyone
It’s just the fuckin term for it. The least important thing ever
Did calling shell shock ptsd help people get the treatment they needed, you all think terminology fixes things and it's psychotic
reading the comments makes me feel less alone.
It's easy to forget that many others are dealing with similar struggles. Its understandable and makes sense why so many of us are feeling this way
Dont beat yourself up necessarily. It's ok to practice some self compassion. You deserve it
OP, your comment me up.
Thanks!

I feel like I haven't been hugged in a long time since covid hit.
Something so small and simple yet a hug can mean everything 💔
I fucking feel you dude, something as simple as a hug is so stress relieving.
Dude, a hug is very important, it can even prevent heart attack effectively
Go get one from someone you trust
I wish i have someone who could help me with a hug without feeling afraid of me crying on their shoulder

@@flowerofash4439 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. May they rest in peace and I wish you the best. If I was able to hug you, I sure would.
Unemployment, underemployment, student debt, no health care. Rising cost of living. We complicate the hell out of this issue because politicians don’t want things to change. The rich own America all of us are afterthoughts, manipulated and exploited.
Vice news should have reported this story 6 months ago
Agreed
Yes this would definitely been helpful back then but I do imagine to tell the full story they may have had to let things play out a bit more
It was not in line with the Covid narrative they and the rest of the corporate media wanted to push.
@@fademasterfade227 exactly!
A few articles online were already readily available explaining the concern
I had severe depression and lost my job during covid. As a result I lost my insurance and access to medication and treatment I need. I want someone to come tell me how universal health insurance cant work because money. Is your bank account worth more than my life? Thats what I feel right now, less.
My bank account is MY livelihood. You are not entitled to it. You are in a terrible situation and nobody envies that. But in the same breath, I didnt put you there.
Folks like you are a big part of what’s wrong with the United States. A complete lack empathy coupled with miserly greed. You have no sense of obligation towards your fellow human’s medical, economic, and societal needs - especially during a pandemic. Keep up this mindset and watch the United States continue to decay and fall apart. And yet I feel an obligation to people like you, no matter how insensitive and self-absorbed you are. You are still a human. My bank account will never be worth more than your life.
@@jennifernowak5075 No I don't feel any obligation, nor should I. No amount of shaming language is going to change that.
Communsim doesn't work. Free market does. Let me choose who to help, dont choose for me.
Would you still pay taxes if it was voluntary?
@@MrHemi4spd people like you are why humanity and this planet are in a rapid decline and are constantly in a self destruction mode.
@@MrHemi4spd you pay taxes regardless and if there’s enough tax money to send over seas to where it doesn’t benefit anyone here, I don’t see why we can’t help our own people providing them with basic medical care. I really hope one day life doesn’t “place” you there with a medical bill.
A “suspect” in a suicidal state. That’s exactly why cops should never handle mental health crises
100% truth
@@blick9538 k lick some more boots babe
@@blick9538 fine. cops pose more of a threat to people with mental health issues that are in crisis than the person ever could to them. threatening to harm yourself doesn’t make you an immediate threat to others. do your own research. and go back to reddit.
@@christianna1307 I don't see the cops charging at the therapist with a weapon, The funny thing is you think certain departments don't train to handle these situations even though there quite common, And if they can't they usually end up contacting EMT so I really don't understand the point your making of sending a psychiatrist to handle a possibly dangerous individual alone.
@@clippyeclipse6258 hairstylists are required to have more training than most of our police force in the US. Crisis units are few and far between, people with disabilities and mental illness suffer at the hands of these people who’ve been trained to view almost everyone as a threat to their life. but I’m done arguing with 13 year olds. do your own research
Don't let anyone tell you this was inevitable; this fallout from COVID only exists because a handful of greedy, evil people refuse to share with the rest of us.
I can’t speak for all Texans but I have blue cross blue shield for insurance and they offer free therapist appointments through COVID. No co pays. Hope this helps someone.
Hmmm, that's actually pretty helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Your employer should also provide EAP services that have free short term counseling sessions as well
Also there are numerous hotlines, websites to help for free too
Some people don't need to see a therapist , some people just need medications because they suffer from a lifelong illness , I think this girl is an actor
But most people probably don't even have insurance rn... Unemployment is still high after all
Personally, having PTSD for many years now, nothing is shocking anymore- I just have to remind myself once and a while that I’m stuck home for a reason beyond my control- weed helps too
Thank God for Marijuana and its healing effects!

@@arielm1374 I hear you on that - I have a card as well and also am smoking way more then normal. If you are new to it then that’s a little different. PTSD doesn’t really go away but ya get better at dealing with it. Maybe try microdosing shrooms if ya can find them.
@@neworld2114 I've been smoking for about 5 years now but only became a pothead over the pandemic (from staying at home all the time). I've been in therapy for years and on many medications and nothing has really helped in any significant way :/ I've been told many times that I'm "hard to read." I've wanted to microdose but I'm just scared of doing any more damage to my brain (used to go on drug binges in the past). My biggest issues are financially I cannot afford most things anymore and my insurance runs out soon and then I'll really be in hot water. I do appreciate the advice, thank you.

damn. I'm really happy someone is finally reporting on this. The idea 1 in 2 people could suffer from mental illness in america is crazy to me but somehow believable too.
pisses me off that nobody has paid attention to this for a year!
my first concern was mental health, humans have overcome illnesses and pandemics before, but we have never had to raise kids in such environments. My daughter is 4, she will be going to a private school soon, I will not have a government tell me, that my child’s education is not as important when they have the most resilience. rise up Americans, if we don’t, the long term affects of our children and ourselves will continue to rise DRAMATICALLY.
Some of us have. I am going into psychiatry and I have asked every residency director about what is being done to deal with an increase in mental health issues due to COVID.
@@ReGenMed83 God, please do it! My doctor doctor does not cover it. My appointments are $350 for thirty minutes. Yes you read that right
@@ReGenMed83 I would suggest also that you look at the publishing’s from our senators, it’s very interesting 🤔
Now just imagine what it’s doing to the children.
You never know, for me, this year has given me so much clearity, also good and healthy habits actually, so it's certainly not a lost year, and, I think I wouldn't have minded one bit as a kid either. Most likely there's no generalization anywhere, not even concerning people who happened to be in a fragile state of mind before, simply because their environment may be giving extra attention to them in these circumstances, e.g,,
@Bob The cat That isn’t true whatsoever, especially not in our current generation where perceptive reality is seen through a significantly more skewed lens. Criminals and people with actual mental health issues are much more likely to come from broken homes and most people are weak so they carry their pains their entire life
@Bob The cat though I do agree with you whole-heartedly that a parent can curve that. But let’s be real if a child is classifying their pain as “significant trauma” then they most likely have a problem with their parent as well
@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 I am in the same boat as you, actually. I don’t concern myself with the world much so the ridiculous, adjunct nonsense that flows from it could hardly phase me. And I am fairly young(though not in college). 20. But there’s loads of data and reports from either dastardly side of the political aisle to support my claim. It’s a terrible thing really. A friend of mine is a single mother with 2 kids and her sister has 6 and is also a single mother and this year has been devastating for them and their kids. They don’t have much money either. It’s been unbelievably difficult for them
@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 Not to mention the frustration they feel at either political side for flip flopping constantly about whether their kids should be in school or not
The same thing happened to me. Bipolar psychotic break. It took almost a year to get help and begin to recover. Lucky to be alive. I’m still homeless. People out here are worse than me. We need help.
My heart goes out to you and I hope you get the help you need and deserve❤️
@@laurakobetich9809 your "HOPE" is part of the problem, it's not doing anything but making you feel good about yourself.
You'll feel like a good person, nothing will be done to help, and you'll just move on and forget about it.
America leaves the mentally ill on the streets to fend for themselves, and everyone turns a bleeding eye because you're worried about lowering your taxes as much as possible. So you elect idiot politicans who cut social programs to "Save wasteful spending".
No, i get that and i felt it when I wrote it. I’ve been severely depressed since I was a teen and empathize with the struggle. No one else had commented and I just wanted to wish this person well. Unfortunately that’s about all I can do on a RUclips message board, but in my real life I do actually help everyone I can. I hope this makes sense...the sentiment wasn’t meant to sound hollow.
And you are absolutely right. The way we treat the mentally ill in this country is absolutely atrocious, and I will continue HOPE it will get better until it does.

All that free universal healthcare don’t seem so bad now.
The problem is Americans is not physically, mentally and financially willing to even have such a system, it requires a lot more than you would think to get universal healthcare up and running in America without it being complete disaster, or some nonsense like Obamacare that had nothing to do with universal healthcare.

Knowledge about the woods and country living reduces fear of the unknown to where it becomes fun hardwork because you can just copy other's success. No reinventing the wheel. Watch all the videos and you learn alot then buy some books. Pray and meditate on the truth for wisdom about your questions. Country land with creeks flowing across it is just 3-4k an acre, slightly sloped, trees 1-2' diameter and 70' tall. Carries you away. Get a private library, a red phoenix rooster for an alarm clock. Third level of heaven where no demons allowed to go. Peace of Paradise. People laugh.......just stay with the computer cubicle job up in the sky, waiting for that phone call to stay on for months or if that big sale falls through, so do you. Your women will probably leave you, more will show up, dog is in it for a 15 year commitment. Life is good. You didnt build the cabin like the cabin rebuilt you. Country people dont really care if you are good looking or not. Every backwoods guy in NC is a welder, carpenter, roofer, plumber, auto mechanic, hunter, fishing bassboater who walks around bored waiting for crops to grow before harvest. Completely different world. You own expensive crap, with no country skills. They have great skills you think are for crap work. Savings.....in what form? Farmland, cattle, Ummm and Uh huh, with plenty of Yup, yeah and jars full of jam and real meat no spam. Nothing fake and the babies get the real thing. I hope your phone rings.
WOW. To anyone dealing with deppression and mental health turmoil rn, i sincerely wish you ALL the best.
Just for surviving this far, you are extremely brave and you all are deserving of a better future.
Off topic, but love the hedgehog profile pic!
Honestly, my mental health isn’t good either. I feel like time has been distorted, and with the pressure school is putting on me, along with the stress of my family members coming down with covid, I’ve just been depressed for months on end now and I just wanna break the cycle of darkness.
I quit uni because of this. Sometimes I kinda have to convince myself that I exist. I feel you emperor, stay strong!
Hang in there bro, your not alone, I know this is just text on a screen but I'm with you.
I've heard huge benefits from people microdosing psilocybin or lsd, I think it's worth testing if your'e depressed.
I feel the same way. It's been a year since COVID and for the past 5 months when I started my grad school, I was hoping it would've been over but now all countries are being hit with their 2nd, 3rd or 4th wave of infections, I've been so jaded trying tomotivate myself continuing my daily routines.
Itll all be over in Spring. It'll be ok 👍
It's a serious problem for us. As for myself,I could live away from people for months but the last couple of months I want a hug and to help other's who are also suffering during this time of covid-19. There's much grief amongst us.

#notlikeotherpeople shut up
All my friends who I thought where my friends are no longer my friends due to covid 19 they have kinda drifted away and I'm lonely 😒
You experienced this too? I started getting annoyed people I considered friends wouldn't respond to text. After a while I examined all the interactions I had with them and determined they were never really good friends to begin with, possible fake friends. Once you realize no one cares about anyone you become free!
Then they weren't your real friends unfortunately. Things will get better.
I hope it gets better for you
Figuring out that I had no real friends and that my family has no true friends began when I became a caregiver for my Dad. We helped so many people and had so many "friends"/family before his stroke. If you're sick too long or help the sick too long people dont care beyond a few weeks, so the years spent taking care of my Dad showed everyones true colors. Same if someone dies, life goes on for most and your grief better be brief or you'll be sitting in it by yourself. If it's not something people can glamorize on social media or receive outside attention for, they flake. Self serving population of peeps.
Unfortunately my 12 year old is learning this lesson early due to Covid. Sadly she's feels lonely too. Such a dismal place to reside.
@@AisleofCapri I only felt the lonely part for a few months (2-3 Months) when everyone was told to WFH (Work From Home). Initially I increased my communication via text, cell calls, company email, and company Slack (Basically instant messaging and video calls) to people I thought were friends. All went well for about two months but after that people started ignoring each other. Suddenly communicating was inconvenient for them, whether it was a text, cell call, or anything. People just started "Leaving people on Read." If you are unfamiliar with LPOR look it up on Google. They would read your message and never respond and definitely never answer a phone call. Took me a few months to figure what was going on with people I thought were friends or friendly coworkers. Turns out these people only care in the moment (Going out for an event: Dinner, Show, Etc. / Physically working in person at a building) but don't care the rest the time. They don't even want you to communicate with them 😂😅🤔. I wised up pretty fast to people's true feelings. I started ignoring people, leaving them on read, skipping meetings, and definitely not answering their calls. I doubt the even notice the change but they are getting treated for what they are, fake people.
It's actually good your 12 year old is learning this now. At the end of the day if you can count your true friends on one hand you are a lucky man/women/alien/animal/whatever.
Maybe this sounds hella lame, but some days I wake up and just want a hug. Cant remember what that feels like.
Doesn't sound lame :)
Human beings are social animals, we are hardwired for contact. There is nothing lame about what you said, that craving you have for connection and human touch is a part of your biology
Sometimes when I need a hug, I roll myself up in a blanket and imagine the warmth is someone hugging me.
Not lame. Not even a little. So many people are suffering from isolation right now. It hurts your spirit. Ever wonder why people in prison are sent to solitary confinement if they commit infractions? It breaks them.
Sending virtual hug 🤗
Feelings of hopelessness can take many people down, especially if they have experienced past trauma.
I’m actually the happiest and most stable I’ve ever been. Don’t need to deal with colleagues. I can just relax at home. Go out for a walk when I want to. Cook good food, go by my own schedule. Life is good.

Soo happy to hear that at least some have benefitted from this. All the best for you! Namaste
You can tell that sheriff really cares about his community.
Kamala Marshall...cops are people. There’s good ones and bad ones.
@Human Being that either / or, black or white, throw the baby out with the bath water thinking is one of the more dangerous and immature thinking patterns. You might want to explore the fact that things are complex and complicated and contain nuance. All cops are bad is the most unbelievably immature, myopic, closed ideas ever uttered. You must be new to earth and humans. Or be the least observant and reflective human ever born.
Speaking of Community...WHY is technology more advanced than economics and geographics? Why are there STILL rural areas in 2021, these dirt roads and empty/anandoned worlds should be absorbed into single communities! Why is there a small town DONT have some of the basics of life and larger cities have an influx of homeless, strung out or simply unstable people?
True
In a way we all lost a year of our lives because of Covid-19
Sort of, but also it’s still life. If you look at it another way, we have actually really experienced life this year and what it can be like.
Get ready to lose another one because humans are idiots
I went to the rocky mountains this past year dudeeeee what're you talking about. Just stay 6ft, try and stay outdoors if you can , wear your mask , only be around people who are wearing theres, wash your hands.. youd be surprised how fun life can be staying clean! 👍 don't let the virus beat you
If you feel that you "lost time" and youre not imprisoned, you clearly havent used the time wisely. This shouldnt be seen as losing time, this should be seen as time to renovate, construct and alter! Life still goes on.
Didn't really affect me, I think 2020 has been my best year so far
I recently read Frankenstein and was astonished how obsessed everybody was about their friends’ happiness. Making sure everybody was happy was job number one. Nobody has asked about my happiness once in my whole life.
How is ur happiness lvl going atm
I watched a video of an amateur filmmaker walking through a store talking to random shoppers in the 70's it was so refreshing everyone he spoke to was positive, charismatic and willing to share their plans for the day. He went back this year to revisit the same store and the people he talked to were so uncomfortable and awkward about the interaction. These people aren't classed as sick but the comparison just shows we're not mentally happy & healthy anymore.
Sad but true.
You got a video link?
I feel like mental health isn't the only or even main factor in that change though.
ruclips.net/video/RYbe-35_BaA/видео.html this is the one in the 70s; I ended up on the wierd side of RUclips that day. I can't find the new one they made though.
Even in the late 90s I used to love talking to random people in stores or in the train. Today people think you're crazy for starting a conversation. I once asked for directions and he gave me a strange look because everyone uses their GPS.
i was fortunate to get a bed in the psych ward back in July when i needed it
I had to admit my brother into a hospital last May when his metal health deteriorated and he went into a psychosis that made him a danger to himself and others. Just getting him to the hospital was one of the hardest things I had to do in my life. The Psychiatrist said they were seeing a rise in this happening in people his age group during this pandemic. It's sad to know that many people do not have access to help that they need, especially right now when times are rough.
I feel your struggle. Xo
I hope your brother is doing better🙏🏻
My son took his life, I’m so glad your brother has you.
@@sm3296 ma'am, may I ask if you were aware of his depression?
@@sm3296 I am so sorry to hear about your loss ma’am. That’s devastating regardless of details of relationship. close or not. That’s devastating...
This depression is so numbing. I feel hopeless and I feel like not even trying. I pray we all make it and do what we gotta do to survive. May the force be with you!
I dont want to try either
@@rachelgraham444 we gotta push through. No matter what.
Before Covid I thought my life finally was going in the right direction. I was just accepted to a 4 year university and was trying to obtain a job in law enforcement believing that I would be helping others. Last year around March during a peak outbreak I broke down. My school fell apart academically and I struggled to pay for school. I was put in a 5150 after confessing to the campus police that I’ve been having suicidal thoughts. I was taken to a mental ward in hand cuffs and was given some meds and was let go after a few days. The hospital was extremely shady. It was a run down ward that and based on what other patients told me they were making up excuses to hold us 4 extra day (because they have to show evidence on court after 5 that we were being held with good reason) collect some extra insurance money then let go. I only saw the doctors once and all he said was “how do you feel” and left before I can even give a proper response. Came back to my recruiter and they basically told me no agency will ever recruit me with my medical background now. Just like that 4 years of effort gone to waste. The hospital in question didn’t put any effort in helping me. It was pretty much “we’ll lock you up for longer unless you say you don’t have these thoughts anymore” and found another patient as soon as the my time limit for holding me without evidence ran out. I thought I was getting help but all it did was give me two month of lexapro and a career killing medical background.
"COVID is Creating a deadly mental healt crisis in America"
THE ENTIRE WORLD, got scarred from this.
America has a widespread problem with a shortage of mental health professions.
I would love to be a therapist. It would cost approximately $120,000. I looked into several schools. I looked in other countries as well it will cost me €30,000 in Germany that teachers in English. but I won't be able to practice in the USA.
They have cheaper $0 programs if I can master German.
But the problem is obvious the USA will neither invest in public health not invest in education.
As much as you can care about a person with mental health issues and want to help your community, most professionals leave those careers due to stress and low paychecks.
Not necessarily true, job satisfaction is really high in mental health fields
I was a peer support which is nothing but it's something.
@david web so why is the police budget so high?
I don't even think that there's a chance of 'going back to normal'.
This is doing wonders for big pharma. Anti depressant sales have sky rocketed so it’s all good.
ya watch tv ms thang or glued to your cellphone 24,7? PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM COVID ITS AIRBOURNE YA TWIT!!!
Anti depressants, Vaccines, continuous Lockdowns, Big Pharma has hit the jackpot!
Illegal drugs and alcohol abuses are exacerbating the situation too...
Its a vicious cycle one affects the other problem and worsens symptoms
Overdose is high because there’s no clean drugs
America needs a NHS, it's crazy to even imagine that the state can fail someone with a mental-health condition because they don't have the money
welcome to america, nevermind one stuck living in a “red state” & i speak as someone from NH, where vision and dental aren’t typically included in insurance- VS our neighbor Massachusetts, where they are FULLY covered, the end!!!
By how much corruption there is in politics I'm very doubtful that would ever happen. I mean we even have lobbyists from tax prep companies like H&R Block that literally bought politicians to not simplify the tax system.
Americans tend to be rather deluded into thinking that we live the best out of the other countries in the world. Just using the UK as an example during the pandemic when they were told to stay home they got 80% of their stipend. And many of them were complaining about that lol. We literally got $1200 once and recently another $600
Just a tip. Look for a Jewish Family Center in your area. They have helped me my entire adult life and if you have abuse in your past, you qualify for a year of free therapy on a grant.
Yup! And yet I am living this right now.
It's not just the circumstances themselves... people are driving eachother crazy through social media. It's not only very damaging but also dangerous.
Quickly losing my twenties and opportunities to have a career- excited to never be able to move out of my parents 🙄
Me and you are in the same spot right now. The amount of anxiety thinking about the future. I don't like the stigma in this video. Mental health and crime aren't connected often. Mental health needs to be treated by physcologists therapists. This is a system failure in Texas. I am pursuing a degree in supply chain manegment at least I know there will be jobs. I hope the best for those younger than us.
Yuppppp :( My advice? Leave the USA as soon as you can. Believe me, it's the only way to achieve the American Dream.
Jennifer Herring seems to have such a warm energy to her. She seems to really care about helping people.
This might just be the best Vice clip I have seen in years.
This is a really an epidemic for mental health and a lot of people won’t make it if we don’t address this and help those around us.
@@fayemarshall2254 whats B117 ? I dont know about it
speaking from my personal experience, as a person living in poverty, this pandemic hasn't changed anything for me. It feels like the rest of the world is just catching up to my experience.
The amount of ads in this video is negatively impacting my mental health.
2?
😅🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t have ads not paying RUclips either

I was already taking care of my father with dementia, dealing with Depression, Anxiety and addicted to Benzodiazepines. You can imagine how I'm doing...
Check out a reddit subreddit called "benzorecovery" and read up on the Ashton method. Good luck to you friend
@@DarthFurie Thank you! I am familiar with the Ashton Protocol, but I'm not actually prescribed anything. So it's hard to be honest with a doctor because they'll immediately see me as a drug addict instead of someone with mental health issues who made a mistake. I simply want to be treated with compassion, but I don't think that will be easy to come by in my circumstances.
I'm sorry for your pain.
@@OnPointFirearms I'll get through it one way or another. Take care yourself mate.
Il Infestissumam thank you.
Be safe people. This isn't easy and it's not going to be. We are in very, very dark times compared to what we are used to. You're not alone. I have bipolar, adhd, depression, anxiety, and autism.

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE FLAKES HELPS ERADICATE THE CORONA VIRUS AND BUILD IMMUNE SYSTEM Magnesium CHLORIDE CRYSTAL BY ANCIENT MINERALS.. Magnesium has a strong relation with the immune system, in both nonspecific and specific immune response, also known as innate and acquired immune response.
Dr. Raul Vergini says, “Magnesium chloride has a unique healing power on acute viral and bacterial diseases. It cured polio and diphtheria and that was the main subject of my magnesium book. A few grams of magnesium chloride every few hours will clear nearly all acute illnesses. I have seen a lot of flu cases healed in 24-48 hours with 3 grams of magnesium chloride taken every 6-8 hours.” Dr. Vergini wrote, “I was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds, because Dr. Delbet had found out that the traditional antiseptic solutions actually mortified tissues and facilitated the infection instead of preventing it. He tested several mineral solutions and discovered that a magnesium chloride has a great effect over leukocytic activity (Increases leucocytes to fight infection) and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.”
In 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D wrote, “From a practical standpoint, please remember that only magnesium CHLORIDE-and no other magnesium salt-has this ‘cytophylactic’ activity. The solution to be used is a 2.5% magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2-6H2O) solution (i.e. 25 grams in 1 liter of water) Show less REPLY drsircus.com/general/dosages-and-treatments-for-coronavirus-infections/?fbclid=IwAR317ocZ45eduGpT7uoq225hW0smUQLi1cbgbun-iLc3oCnJynIf1x7H_XU

I've been dealing with mental health problems my whole life ever since the pandemic started I got off all my medications I started taking medicinal mushrooms and cannabis and I feel hell of a lot better than I've ever felt the last five to ten years
@@dumbgirl8 love ya 🙏💯💯
I'm high 😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏
As a lead clinican at a community health center for mental health and substance recovery, I can tell you this is all true. I'm only functional because of my girlfriend, peer support from my co-workers, and my therapist. Also memes.
Social support is key. Glad you're getting yours! As a person with mental health issues who is, for the first time, getting support, what can I do as a private citizen to help others? It's hard to find a place to volunteer here.
Ah, I'm a therapist as well... we're struggling, aren't we? It's hard to keep it together to meet our clients' needs. Memes are a life saver right now!
Allah is the only way!
I am going to train to be a therapist. Wishing you all well.

2021 society = a hopeless mess.
or: some fresh opportunities
@@user-tc5qc4ql8m I can see where you coming from.
Unfortunately at a huge cost of human suffering and death, those of us who survive the pandemic and find a way to become economically stable, yes it’s an opportunistic year.
Wait until it's 2022. 2021 is just the trailer.
I almost committed suicide and was the planning the day with a note goodbye. I had this feeling that I took everything for granted and wasted my life up until last March when the world changed. I thought life wasn’t going to get better any time soon. But I’m here today thankfully, and I hope those here in the comments struggling with mental health can find peace and happiness.
Really sad we're in 2021 and we still don't understand the importance of mental health.
"A suspect threatening suicide," is the exact reason caring & competent mental health providers need to be the ones going out on these calls
It's simply not fair to the police officer or the person in distress for law enforcement to have to take the lead
@Astropathix XIII
But how about this sheriff's perspective on the matter
In pretty sure he said “subject.” But yeah I don’t think I would want a cop talking me off a ledge in my time of need either
I relapsed after several years so there’s that. Quickly quit and got sober again on Halloween 2020.
Good job, keep it up friend. I was an addict for a year, OD'd in May and got scared straight, running almost 9 months sober myself. We can do it
God bless ♥
Both of you guys got this! I know you can do it! 🙂

Living with a sibling with anxiety and other mental health problems who refuses (or is too scared) to seek help is another animal in this environment. Since it started, he doesn’t go out anymore. Most of my relatives and friends would prefer to interact virtually (understandably) so it’s maddening that I am stuck in this new reality
I called a psychiatrist office over a month ago and can't see anyone until February 8th. It's getting out of hand. I decided to go go the doctors office instead and got pills for high blood pressure, anxiety, and panic attacks 30 minutes after my appointment. I'm ready for free health care.
You could've voted Bernie but decided to go through with this military industrial complex rabbithole.

I’m battling Anxiety and probably Depression every single day. My heart breaks that so many people are struggling like this and America does very little to help people. Medicate them....Not The Answer we’ve seen what that leads to. Wake Up America!!
It’s the lack of human solidarity and isolation I feel in the United States that’s the worst for me.
January 15th 2019 my papa died, his funeral was the 20th. The 21st to February 11th is a blur but I ended up in jail for 5 days then was given a really powerful anti-depression med that I never filled. I never took it. It’s now 2021 and some days I wake up and soak my pillow with joy tears knowing the world is falling apart but me and mine are ok. I still miss him terrible, it’s gut wrenching at times. Grief is survivable even though it seems like it isn’t. Whoever is reading this I love you deeply and intrinsically like only another human who knows could.
Your story touches me. I send you love from Aberdeen, Scotland. You sound incredibly strong. Well done for making it through those darkest hours. Your papa must be proud of you ❤

I will be indebted to you for my life ,can u tell me the antidepressant name they gave u ?
The solution is very simple: Medicare for all.
The Republican Party fought for at least 7 years to repeal "Obamacare". You really think they would approve Medicare?
And the Democratic Party having a majority this time, doesn't solve anything, because they need 2/3 majority (because of the Filibuster), which they don't have.
@@thisisnothappening8452 I know both parties are corrupted to the core I’m just stating that’s the solution most civilized countries have figured out long ago.
Who is going to pay for that?
@@severedyakhead9702 The richest 400 families in the US pay a tax rate of 23% while you, I and the rest of the bottom half of the country pay 24%. You can easily cover Medicare for all by making them pay their fair share. They’d still have more wealth than you can spend in 100 lifetimes.
Psychiatric wards are the worst place to be when you're dealing with depression, or suicidal thoughts, and behaviors. I just spent over 7 days in the VA, and it made me want to die even more. I'd rather isolate at home.
Stay safe people. Try to be positive. Just survive.

5th month of lockdown alone in a foreign country has slowly brought me to major depression and daily panic attacks. I'm sick and my family doesn't care. I am unable to work due to my mental health. It's a nightmare.
Here in my country, our mental health is getting worse each day due to lockdowns, job losses, and restrictions. Our mental health services are expensive too; It's a LUXURY to even get one.
