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;

i’m sorry that comment really confused me, i do love my mother as most people do, i just don’t understand how my comments here relate to my mother.
I would not write …
I would not write you off as completely sane because you did not mention your love or concern for your mother.
Great comment. The …
Great comment. The NWO wiped out Shamanism which was used to treat mental illness for centuries. Modern medicine is synthetic poison. I’m on them (12 years) only because the US will not legalize. Drugs were are meant to be used for religious purposes and NOT RECREATION! A ritual (be it physical or mental) must be used to prevent bad trips.
peace.

your the kind of …
your the kind of person that allows our gov to spend 20 billion dollars every year for a drug war that has only produced violence and destruction of communities. Prohibition never works the key is regulation like the dutch drug policy.

i’m not scared of the pub, its about statistical likelihood, and i’m sorry my response didn’t make much sense but i couldn’t really understand your statement, so i was just clutching at straws to answer you really, if you fancy restating your point i’ll give it another go.

thats like 5 odd points, either ur probably right, thats the point of the video, not that any of ur reply made any sense,(a long half baked opinion fragment sentence) whatever, go some kung fu if ur scared of the pub.
waste myself, as in …
waste myself, as in kill myself, because your more likely to die from an argument in a pub than you are from ecstasy, let alone marijuana, but if your talking about wasting my life, i’ve got a highly paid job, and friends and family that love me, and i have smoked everyday for 8 years, seriously its life that sucks for some and some are just stupid drugs won’t change that either way.
cos im a person who …
cos im a person who got the co occuring diesiese and I say lets waste the cannibis usage, instead of wasting urself on a bad excuse
rather than …
rather than attempting (and failing if you know how available drugs are to people) to get rid of drugs that can and are used in medical treatment, like cannabis, opiates, and cocaine, why not strive to make the world a better place and try to eliminate the true cause of mental illness, excessive stress induced by life sucking.

There must be a …
There must be a forum,and dialogue devoted to recognizing that the most addictive drugs&the very drugs that lead to many people believing they have mental illness they do not have, are handed out by G.P.s&Psychiatrists. I have been a victim, starting with Ritalin,then Xanex(the most addictive of any drug, 100s of x more than heroin)for anxiety caused by ritain, then drinking, other drugs.Then bipolar, which was a lie. Benzodiazepines (xanex,Klonipin,Ativan)r the biggest trick&danger in our world
Drugs are ruining …
Drugs are ruining are youth!
Become an example, bring ourselves out of this slump, and start setting an example to our youth. There is already enough self destruction going on in the world we live. We should rally and stand up for what is right. Many a strong person has told their story of how they went off course, so that others may live.
-Drugs Kill, Like Guns, just more slowly.
Why do you think …
Why do you think that I have asked 100’s of Christians to pray for my children? In some ways it maybe to late for me. I have drank and done drugs and smoked cigarettes sense I was 13 years old. I would NEVER want my kids to be as screwed up as me. Hopefully they will be more like their mother.I believe in war and she believes in pacifism. She has never done drugs and does smoke and almost never drinks.
I knew if I posted …
I knew if I posted while drunk long enough I would make an of myself. Par for the course in a drunks life. Lol!
I hope that you …
I hope that you realize that to tell someone that you think they have mental illness is extremely offensive. I have been in front of psychiatrists at a mental hospital. I tried to commit suicide. They were not able to diagnose me with a mental illness. Only substance abuse.I went to a 28 day program for substance abuse.I have friends that are well educated and said they do not believe that I have a mental illness. Although my RCMP friend thought that I had Post Traumatic Stress disorder once.
You can have your …
You can have your opinion. However I think that a lot of times people use the term mental illness to try to discredit what someone says.
I come from a long line of substance abuse.

I have never been diagnosed with any mental illness.

I think your suffering from mental illness sir.
A lot that I write …
A lot that I write is when I am drunk. No one has given me any good answers as to why alcoholism runs in my family. Oh well!

Why wouldn’t it …
Why wouldn’t it occur to you that I am a lonely person? I have no close friends. If I wasn’t posting at youtube I would be with friends or doing a hobby. I am finding that in these times that people want to find mental illness around every corner. I guess there is a lot of money to be made for the doctors and pharmacy companies.
