Vice President Joe Biden closed out a mental health conference at the White House Monday afternoon with a message of support to those affected by mental illness.

"Let's use this moment to send a message to tens of millions of Americans, especially the young people and parents of young people all over this country," Biden said during remarks delivered in the White House's South Court Auditorium. "There's nothing, nothing to be ashamed of if you're struggling with mental issues. ... It's OK to talk about it, it's OK to ask for help, it's OK to acknowledge that it's frightening."

In all seriousness this mental illness talk is another dog whistle.

I see that my idiot nephew has decided to “come out” and admit that he’s mentally ill because he isn’t good at math.

“Oh why won’t someone help me” (Give me money).

Bingo.

Plus you are so much easier to manage and manipulate when we drug you.

Did you know that 30% of democrats are taking some sort of drug for mental illness?

The other 70% are on the loose and unmedicated!

“...its OK to get that diagnosis entered into your medical records, so that the IRS commissioner who oversees your health care can forward it to the ATF and FBI for the NICS database.”

Yes. This was my exact thought upon noticing this recent push regarding mental illness. There was a lot of debate about mental illness during the gun control legislation frenzy insisting that those who have issues with depression, etc., aren’t fit to have guns in their home.

Now, they start this campaign to convince the people that mental illness is no big deal?

These people and their schemes are diabolical.

Post of the day! No one who is not a member of the ruling class should ever talk publicly about a health issue, particularly a mental health issue. It will follow you through life.

And then read THIS

The under in the new US Diagnostic and Statistical Manual mean 50% of the American public will meet the criteria for having some sort of "mental illness".

It's all just a jigsaw puzzle that will end up being a picture of a totalitarian control state, when put together.

Obamacare will provide special psychiatric “treatments” for all those who oppose the regime.
