#CreateEmotionalHealthHospitals

Our Leaders please note that there is a need for an overhaul of our healthcare system.

There is a need for the creation of Emotional Health Hospitals and even separate departments for curing emotional sickness.

The biggest problem in America is that emotional health is not only under the radar screen of our experts and leaders; it is misdefined. Lack of emotional health awareness manifests itself in the social ills of society. Each emotional ill is considered an independent entity; when these are all symptoms of emotionally challenged brains. So departments are created to reduce, manage and control each social ill separately.

Take the social ill of crime. Criminals are treated as evil. They are in fact emotionally challenged.

Take the case of drug addicts. They are treated as criminals. They are in fact emotionally challenged.

The case of corrupt people. They are treated as criminals. They are in fact emotionally challenged.

The first step is to identify the cause and address it directly. Socially ill behavior is a symptom and not the cause. So when the symptom is addressed it is like the house is on fire and action is taken to manage and control the heat and the smoke, leaving the fire to burn on. No wonder even though civilization is advancing the social ills are getting even worse as the main cause of emotional health is unaddressed as time, effort and money are spent on curing the symptoms.
