From wearable sensors to video game treatments, everyone seems to be looking to technology as the next wave of innovation for mental health care.

But that is what these people do - the Steves of this world - they all try and make something out of nothing. and they all do it for themselves.

With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, more people will have insurance coverage and, in principle, be eligible for more care.

There is a self interest in voting for a society where there is health care for all, where there's a mental health service for all, where there is education service for all.

I'm intending to work on juvenile justice reform, sentencing reform, reentry, drug treatment, access to mental health care.

In my community, mental health isn't taken seriously enough. Therapy is replaced by prayer. Tears are a sign of weakness. When you are different, you are told to change. And really, what does that do? It isolates desperate, vulnerable people and creates victims.
