Patrick J. Kennedy: “Congress and the country have really never appropriated the necessary resources for this crisis.”

We ought to be encouraging people in this country to seek mental health. That should not be a disqualifying factor.

So if I were both a liberal or a conservative, parity would be a big issue for me.

the process to seek help should not be a barrier to receiving help.

I appreciate this is a bipartisan process, especially on mental health, which affects every family.
