988 Mental Health Lifeline Number Set To Launch July 16th

What are the main sources of American's mental illness at community level today ? Do not contaminate American body with alcoholism & drugs !
Lets instead face the need for "The Right to Die".
I think people need to have a right, whether incarcerated for life, or in permanent pain, to ask to die humanely and not be forced to do it violently. "Suicide by cop", is getting more and more prevalent. Cant get politics or people to be human to each other, and cant even let them die when they want to. This is a sick reality.
Why wouldn't you call a doctor or 911? Medical emergencies need evidence based medical treatment not talking.
I have called these numbers and there is no answer. I have called for days on end and there is no answer
In my medium sized city, it takes a suicidal person at least a month to even get an appointment to talk to a mental health professional on the phone. Bing referred by the cops or an ER may speed that up slightly, but not by much.
That hotline is gonna blow up on first day! We’re not in a good mental place right now.
Oh alotta people believe me ALOT, THIS WORLD!
Life under Biden. It will only get worse.
A little late for the one i love but glad so many people have this option
and get to live another day.
The thing that sucks is they won't talk to you unless you have active thoughts about committing suicide. Just contemplating it is not enough, they are basically just there to call 911 for you.
