Access to treatment depends on access to information.

Treatment works, if you can get it, and if states get it right. Unfortunately, too many states are willing to risk or tolerate premature deaths.

Getting help means getting access to information. When 40 states can't pass a pop quiz on providing basic information to the people whom they are supposed to serve, then the system is in trouble.

All the preclinical data suggest this is a safe procedure with substantial information suggesting a possible treatment effect.

If you need heart surgery, you don't want a surgeon who only got a C in medical school. The same principle applies in helping people with mental illnesses.

Some good things are happening even in abysmal states.
