Yes to more funding, but not for "research and treatment" because that's just code for oharmaceutical companies who are already exploiting the distress of many for profit. Funding should be invested into resolving the social determinants of mental illness.

How has a personal challenge or struggle changed your perspective on seeking help or support?

 @9XNRBYWPBB Solidarityanswered…3wks3W

Seeking help is very important and much more focus needs to be put on mental health service availability in this country. It is arguably more important than physical health

Funding for research and medication, not necessarily the programs they have that don't work (or at least only put people on them that are benefitting)

This is one of those relative questions that cannot reasonably be answered if you want to compare your stances with parties from multiple countries. I’m sure some countries have adequate mental health funding while others do not.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

Have you ever faced stigma or misunderstanding about mental health, and how did you handle it?

 @4SNPK4Banswered…3yrs3Y

This is one of those relative questions that cannot reasonably be answered if you want to compare your stances with parties from multiple countries. It seems likely that some countries have adequate mental health funding while others do not.
