Comment on How prevalent is the topic of mental health in America compared to Germany?
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 weeks agoI think it's a general issue with our healthcare system. And the lack of doctors and hospitals is more pronounced in rural areas. But basically the same thing applies in the city. And not just for mental therapy. You often also get to wait for a MRT, if there's something wrong with your foot... I'm not an expert on this. But I guess we could do way better. And I hear that a lot, that someone had to wait for therapy for relatively normal physical issues. And similar things apply to related professions. One home for the elderly next door, just closed a year ago. Not because we don't have elderly people anymore or anything, there is quite some demand. But they just didn't have enough employees to do the work.
