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.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How has a personal challenge or struggle changed your perspective on seeking help or support?
@9XNRBYWPBB Solidarity3wks3W
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
@9H76M6G12mos12MO
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)
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
In what ways do you think society's understanding of mental health has evolved in the last decade?
@9TSL29C2mos2MO
People are more accepting of mental health issues but theres still a long ways to go
@8C5RDBV4yrs4Y
Yes, also have psychologists full time in every school and focus on well-being rather than prescriptions pushed by big pharma.
@94739L62yrs2Y
Yes, and our healthcare system needs a complete overhaul
@93FJZV72yrs2Y
Yes, but do not subsidise Israeli pharmaceutical companies (Ireland-based, Irish-founded only, and non-Israeli MNCs with significant Irish operations and no Israeli operations).

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.
