MENTAL HEALTH MADNESS: Fighting for Support in a Broken Mental Healthcare System with Expert Dr. Alice Feller

We want to believe that our healthcare system will be there for us when we need it. And we rightly expect that those entrusted with our care can (and will) do everything in their power to give us the care we deserve. Yet, unfortunately, I—and millions of others—have found that our healthcare system is terribly broken. When we are too sick, fragile, weary, or ill-equipped to self-advocate and push forward—the times when we need support the most—the system often fails us terribly. From alcoholism and opioid addiction to anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, countless people are suffering without any hope of support. Our prisons and unhoused (homeless) populations are filled with individuals who suffer from underlying mental health issues. Those who are without financial resources often suffer the most, although no demographic is immune to this problem. What can we do to make a difference? Dr. Alice Feller, physician, advocate, and author of American Madness: Fighting for Patients in a Broken Mental Health System , offers a wise, shining light. When healthcare becomes big business, humanity loses in the long run. As Dr. Feller notes, “We need to get together and have a political change. We need to take medicine out of the for-profit realm.” Get your copy of Dr. Alice’s book on Amazon or Barnes & Noble !
