Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

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.

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)

Yes, also have psychologists full time in every school and focus on well-being rather than prescriptions pushed by big pharma.

Yes, and our healthcare system needs a complete overhaul

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).

No, privatise

What small daily actions do you believe can significantly impact one's mental well-being?

How do schools and workplaces need to change to better support mental health?

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