Not only 3rd world

I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with mental health professionals and facilities here in the US. Not one whit of difference if one cannot afford the care of doctors, private institutions, and of course, pills, pills, and more pills. The 'normal' people are not any better, if one has cancer or diabetes then that garners sympathy and is part of most conversations, not mental illness or what has been decided by arrogant doctors as mental illness causes these 'normal' people to freak out when they find out one's diagnosis, forgetting they did not see any of that in your behavior Until they find out your diagnosis then these normal people turn into persecutors jumping on anything to prove how erratic that mentally ill person is. Hell yes, I would commit suicide before going into a state run mental facility or being forced to live on the streets...who wouldn't?

Makes us Angry!

This story defies the imagination. How can we still let this happen - civilization seems to still be a far out of reach luxury for people throughout the world.

This story is so horrible

This story is so horrible and eye opening. We have to find a better way to care for the mentally ill, rather than treating them in this terrible manner.

Out of Mind, Out of Sight

We paper over our stealth care system quite well: http://blogdredd.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-do-we-call-it-health-care.html One wonders if we are headed in the direction toward the destination this excellent article forwards us to?

Out of Mind, Out of Sight

Eugene Richards is doing an admirable job exposing the inhuman conditions in mental hospitals--an issue that few legislators, lawyers and politicians are loathe to address. I became a citizen activist for mental health reform years ago, after being appointed to administer my father's estate, who was a famous American artist, railroaded to a New York mental hospital, without a hearing or due process. Although sane, and despite years of pleas for his release, he died after 16 years as a political prisoner of Wall Street parties that reaped a fortune from his estate and concealed their fraud. Because I refused to remain silent to warnings to back off, I was repeatedly sued after launching a web site story exposing corruption and serious constitutional violations. Although the legal battle brought national publicity and public outrage, I can only say that, in the spirit of Mother Jones, whose words, "Give them Hell!", did have an effect, the only way to obtain help for a vulnerable group, labelled mentally ill, is to publish stories like that of Eugene Richards, and to demand attention by the oligarchs so that mental inmates are not treated as worthless animals. Some mental hospitals have been useful prisons for getting rid of a troublesome child, relative, or one who dissents against powerful political forces. They become persona non grata, stripped of their legal rights and prisoners of the corporate state that will continue to flourish if noone speaks out. Psychiatrists, lawyers and politicians as a group can be hard to impact as a collective conscience, but when there is publicity or public comment like this article shows, it can help to melt the silence that ensues too often from the words, "mentally ill", or "handicapped".

Finding the answers

The sad thing is we are about to get there here in the US. In my home state of Tennessee mental health services have been cut 22%. The cuts are harsh and fast, leaving many with no place to go besides jail or living on the streets. I'm afraid to see the numbers of an already skyrocketing suicide rate in the upcoming years. We need to find the answers needed to solve this puzzle. Have true diagnostics and develop treatment for the individual. Maybe down the road we will see treatment for the illness rather than just trying to control the symptoms with a hit or miss, take this and that for years before we figure out the right "cocktail" for you method. So many people just give up hope after they are broken financially, physically and psychologically. While others are afraid to even seek treatment. Right now I'm a one man show after my backer lost big in the market but any support you could give by just signing your name to my online declaration and spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.

This is sad and still a

This is sad and still a reality due to the fact that politicians do not care about the disabled: They can create institutions but it is just another strategy to get votes. On the other hand, people who take care of the mentally disabled have a very short range of action: We all depend on the head that is sitting in a chair starting to feel so powerful. There are some days that you just feel like giving up. Sad story, bad story the daily life of the disabled in my poor Mexico.

Americans struggled to get

Americans struggled to get some good rights and good programs for mental patients, good people around the world deserve the same protection - not to permit rapes or mistreatment by the scum of the Earth go un-answered by a good, decent, human rights respecting legal system.

Mental Disabled

I seen a video how our system works with the cronical or mentally ill or cronic ill.The justice system has a hand full and they are happy once they are able to give them the meds they need then they sit out their punishment some cannot be handled soft they will need arrest teams to transfer them inside institute.It looks bad but they are helping them the best they can,I do hope in the future they have diferrent meds so they can at least live outside bars.

Very Sad.

I fear that this paradigm for handling the mental and physical problems in 3rd world countries will become the paradigm here, because "we can't afford proper health care". Many suffer here in the U.S. I believe it will get worse here because those who can afford to help others won't do so. We live in an every-man-for-himself country. For the same reason, those in other countries will not be helped either.

How To Help

Dear Caroline: If you want to help, probably the first place to look is the group that Eugene volunteered for, Mental Disability Rights International (www.mdri.org). You can donate or volunteer. You can also find them on Facebook and MySpace. Best, Clara Jeffery, Editor, Mother Jones

This is so sad. To think

This is so sad. To think that people who need help more than most of us do are treated so poorly just breaks my heart.
