What a terrible take. Can you get mental health care in those other countries, or is there a wait list and a huge bill at the end like in the US?

Wait list, yes. Bill, absolutely not.

Taking care of mental health is about as hard in most other countries too, yes. We should also be solving that problem. But not exclusively.

Can you show me where I said exclusively?

My apologies, in context it seemed like you were implying that mental health was indeed easier to get help for in the other countries listed. Which I took to mean you were saying it was indeed more of a factor and not completely irrelevant. So I assumed you didn’t think guns were the main problem from that. When they are indeed the main problem.

I didn’t get from your post that you were also calling for gun control, for some reason it seemed like you were against it. Sorry.

In Canada? Huge wait list unless you want to pay, same as the USA. What’s the next excuse then?

In the States it’s free if you are very poor, but if you get a real job they remove the benefit. The welfare cliff is a really undiserable there.

In Australia you can get like 5 free psych sessions a year or something. It’s not very well advertised, nor is it really enough to help those who actually need.

For any serious help, you’ll be looking at out of pocket expenses.
