As the authorities pulled away, I stood alone in silent reflection.
How sad, I thought. My mother was ineffectively institutionalized fifty years ago. And today, America's gone the other way.
Unfortunately, this mindset will no longer suffice because the problem is only getting worse. A CNN/KFF poll conducted in October 2022 concluded that 90 percent of adults in the U.S. say the country is experiencing a mental health crisis. His son soon disappeared and landed on our doorstep. The sight of him that day reminded me of how close I'd come to being homeless when I was an adolescent, how my family and the system failed my siblings years before, and how society today often fails those struggling with SMI and accepts their teetering presence on our city streets as an acceptable state of being.
However, in the case of the mental health care worker who responded to my call a few months back, she shared my deep concern but couldn't offer a truly impactful solution. Honestly, she appeared just as frustrated as me.
