How has a personal challenge or struggle changed your perspective on seeking help or support?

 @9WCRKNYAlliance of Hope from Kuala Lumpur  answered…5mos5MO

It's quite hard as the current expenses for seeking help for mental health is still too expensive and the government is still not doing enough to tackle this issue.

 @9VZ3Y8Yanswered…5mos5MO

Trying to seek psychological help myself I realize that mental health services are still very lacking and too expensive

No. Increase funding for Crystal meth / slamming research and treatment.

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

No focus on jailing meth addicts instead

 @4VXDGTFanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, it is constitutional to support the arts and sciences in various ways, especially when it benefits the well-being of citizens.

In what ways do you think society's understanding of mental health has evolved in the last decade?

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

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

How do you differentiate between not feeling okay and needing professional mental health support?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you think characters in movies and TV shows influence our views on mental health, and is this positive or negative?

 @8PRH7QX from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

Mitigate the presence of the technological industrial system. It is the root cause of widespread depression and mental health issues.

 @8RSTXFT from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but people should be made more aware of the issues surrounding mental health.

 @7MDHCLH from Nevada  answered…4yrs4Y

Government should just stay out of mental health.

 @8R9DZGW from Arkansas  answered…4yrs4Y

Only when we have extra funding.

 @42ZSFS2answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but only if the research includes studying transgenders and homosexuals.

 @8QRCFQP from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

No private companies will address this instead

  @michaelconnely from Nebraska  answered…3yrs3Y

Our medical establishment is corrupt and needs completely redesigned.

 @IINXMP from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but we should entirely cut taxes on companies that provide healthcare, garbage disposal, education, and emergency services.

 @8M64XKW from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but we should bring back insane asylums instead.

 @8NY4BWF from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

This is. a much larger question than yes vs. no. Depends on the mental illness, what the plan to help individuals would be and what happens with the research?

 @8P4J799 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

Only if they also decrease funding for something else

 @8P8TVTS from California  answered…4yrs4Y

We need to heavily scrutinize current psychological research standards. This area needs effective funding not to be the money hole that it is.

 @8WRGD39 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

it should stay the same

 @8XPV4DF from South Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, this would help decrease the homeless population in some places

  @jasonandrewdevine from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

No, health is not a government issue

 @92X5HLD from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, and end all current funding

 @92DQP2K from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and also incentivize private companies to address this issue as well.

Ukraine Unveils Secret Arsenal to Force Russia's Hand

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unveiled his much anticipated "Victory Plan" at Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday, urging his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of its key U.S. ally's Nov. 5 presidential election.As Russian troops advance in the east and a bleak winter of power shortages looms, he told lawmakers his plan contained five main points that relied on Kyiv's allies, including an unconditional invite to join NATO and specific weapons support."Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace," he told lawmakers and top officials.His third point emphasised the need for Ukraine to acquire a non-nuclear deterrence capacity that he said would be enough to destroy Russian military power. He did not elaborate, but said there was an additional secret addendum that he could not disclose.The plan, he said, also envisaged a Western role defending Ukraine's natural mineral resources from Russian attacks as well as post-war reconstruction pledges.The speech was attended by his top military, intelligence and political brass as well as lawmakers, some of whom occasionally stood up to applaud.Ukraine faces both difficulties and uncertainty ahead of the U.S. election that could return Donald Trump to the White House.The Republican former president has pledged to rapidly end the war before entering office if he wins, an idea that Kyiv's supporters fear would involve big concessions in the name of a quick deal.Zelenskiy met U.S. President Joe Biden, his key ally, in Washington at the end of the September to present the plan. In a subsequent whirlwind tour of Europe, he met the leaders of Britain, France, Italy and Germany to discuss it.Zelenskiy said he would travel to summit of European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday to present his plan.
