It should be more about fitness and health over antidepressants and therapy to improve mental health

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)

 @8C5RDBVanswered…6yrs6Y

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

 @94739L6answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and our healthcare system needs a complete overhaul

 @93FJZV7answered…4yrs4Y

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).

 @8Q5RDNVanswered…5yrs5Y

No, privatise
