Using the two edged .sword prevention through education, and better treatment by encouraging the development of personnel and facimies, the Mental Health Asso ciation fosters a program to em phasize that mental illness can be prevented, treated, and cured. Right now 10 million Americans are suffering from mental illness . . . and as the National Association for Mental Health has described it . . . \it isn’t Just a case of being m enuily sick , . . ifs a case of be ing kept mentally sick!” This Is the tragic plight of thousands of men women — and children, too — «!ho could be saved from the tortures of mental illness if only they could get the treatment they need. H u t in most mental hospitals _ overcrowded, short of staff, short efif medical supplies^-patients are ^not getting the ti-eatment they need, and so many of them art doomed needlessly to long years— even lifetimes — of suffering as m ental patients. .( ■ Even more heartbreaking is the fact that, thousands of mental pa tients who are well enough to go home today—may never go home at - all—because there Isn’t enough . ..staff JuBt to examine them and J, jpMcdSs them for discharge. .'.It isa!t only In the hospitals that i X r f c ; t h b teagedy Is taking place.'Homes, I , becoming pWblems. niimoiio ol rves are being ruined becau.se there iren’t enough health clinics, pri- •ate psycliiialrl.st.v and guidance -ervlces to counsel and help people vtth the lesser mental disturb- Meiital Health has rapidly •cached the point where It is due )L ■ America’s major health prob- .ems . . . with as many people -tffected as by cancer, polio, heart disease, and other physical \SIT- ■Whot can be done . . . what can ,!Ou do Ds an Individual?
