If Obama doesn't sign this, all hope will be lost for Joe Biden's recovery process.

Oh yes. Since every single workplace shooter, school shooter or nutcase drowning their own children is already getting “treatment” we sure need to see even more of it.

They should look to their own mental health first.
Most of those people are insane.

This won’t be about addressing the lack of care facilities, it’ll be about “detecting undiagnosed illness” through all kinds of government overreach into family healthcare and “reporting” from all kinds of agencies and organizations that are fundamentally unqualified to make such judgements (schools, tax offices, police, etc), as well as expanding the requirements (and the “warning signs”) for traditional reporting sources like the VA and CPS, and likely excluding systems like the welfare arms of Social Services to avoid “stigmatization”.

The last thing we need to address mental health in this country is for the loony tunes in Congress getting involved.

IMO we should be extremely alarmed by this process. Question on gun permit application - have you or any member of your family ever been to see a mental health specialist? Yes - No gun for you.

Could include couples counseling, family psychotherapy, etc. The American Psychological Association has already contributed an overwhelming amount to the destruction of our healthcare through their lobbying to have mental health treated as any other diagnosis. This should be squashed in committee.

[Mental health problems can wreak havoc...]

Considering this crap is coming out of the Congressional Mental Institution of America you can take everything they come as pure lunacy.

Thank you for referencing that article Citizen Zed. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate mental healthcare issues. So before the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate can draft mental healthcare legislation, it must first do the following.

The Senate must lead Congress to propose a mental healthcare amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify the amendment then the feds will have the power to address mental healthcare issues.

But also note that the states are not obligated to ratify any proposed amendment.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.

Again, regulating, taxing and spending for intrastate mental healthcare purposes without having the express constitutional authority to do so an example of such overreach.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Will they include the common sexual deviances (homosexuality, transgenderism, polyamory, promiscuity ...) as mental illnesses?

Then being a fag can get you a disability check.

I’m really glad the Federal government started addressing this. The government has plenty of time on it’s hand now that it solved the debt crisis, drug abuse, poverty, joblessness & the breakdown in the family. /sarc
