amen gals!!! count me in!! bs4c:
To everyone that lives in America, yes this is true, in England we have a system up and running that allows for house bound people to be treated at home. Mental health workers will visit and or, depending on the situation, phone. We also don't have to travel each month etc to refill our prescritions, we can make telephone refills and the chemist will even drop the tablets off to your home... however the doctor's aim is to get the person out of their home so they do strongly encourage but do not demand this, they allow you to go at your own pace. To get therapy, like CBT, you do however need to visit the clinic but for the majority of us we don't have to travel that far to reach a clinic, as mental health is taken very seriously here and they are everywhere. Normally 2/3 clinics and a hospital per bourough...maybe more.
So, please support Angeleyes in her campaign, maybe start a pertition in your area and e-mail the right people and if pressure is added then maybe something might be done for you all.... God Bless!! and GOOD-LUCK
I would think the independent living where you live would be quite interested in that:
