I think it's fair to say that there's been a societal shift, and maybe—hopefully—a political shift in the last, say, 10 years, where we now recognize mental health to be a core part of overall health, and not any different, really, from physical health. Yet, we are not providing treatment to a huge number of our citizens. Of course, as we're studying children, who I think are often among the most important people in our lives, we're letting a significant part of their health go untreated.
My question is this: Is it time to bring access to mental health services under our universal health care system so that everybody can get treatment when they need it?
