Anyone can have a mental illness, regardless of age, sex, race, sex or income. Mental illness is more common than cancer, diabetes, heart disease or AIDS. It is estimated that one in five adults and children with a mental disorder is a life. and in all 10 children 9 years or more serious emotional disorders interferes with a strong day of four families with a member who has a mental illness. The children, depression, often a family history of disease that is often a depressed parent to develop early. Mental health problems left untreated can lead to suicide, is the sixth leading cause of death among 5 to 14 years. It is estimated that two thirds of all young people with mental health problems do not always need the help. It is important to remember that mental disorders occur at any age but occurs most often for the first time at the age of 25 and 44 with the right treatment most people with mental illness can return to a life normal productive, and almost everyone has some benefit from this treatment. The causes of mental illness are complex. Mental disorders in children and young people who most often caused by biology and environment. Examples of biological causes are genetics, chemical imbalances in the body caused by genetics, lack of sleep or poor nutrition or damage to the central nervous system, like a head injury from oxygen deprivation at birth and Spectrum Disorder Fetal Alcohol. Many environmental factors also put young people at risk of developing mental disorders. Examples including exposure to environmental toxins, such as high concentrations of lead to violence as witnesses or victims of physical or sexual exposure, are drive-by shootings, robberies or other disasters, the stress, chronic poverty, discrimination or other serious diseases and the loss of important people through death, divorce or broken relationships. The six preventive services are recommended and can be a clinic, a church, library or community center in the local community: a being. Group prenatal care and home visits or support for children. For the second selective education and advice to smokers, especially those who are pregnant.

Improving the mental health system According to a press release dated May 9, 2006, the “Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology has recommended that Canada establish a Canadian Mental Health Commission is responsible for considerable improvements in the mental health system of Canada. As Senator Michael Kirby, chairman of the committee, said: “The Senate Committee on improving the scope, quality and organization of health services and support services to be bound by the tens of thousands of Canadians living with mental illness and addiction are needed. ” Funding for the proposed amendment Based on a thorough study of three years on mental health and substance abuse, the Committee noted that the cost of $ 5. 36 billion over 10 years for this to expand mental health. Where these funds come from? The Committee believes that revenue will come from increased excise duties on alcoholic drinks by 5 cents per drink. Part of the reason for the increase of 5 cents per drink was obviously the goal of raising the funds necessary for the changes proposed in the mental health system. Another factor to justify the higher price, however, was that since the cost of alcohol is more, Canadians are more likely to be produced at a lower alcohol content as beer and wine to drink instead alcohol. Let’s Do Math At first glance, this proposal seems reasonable. Why not those who have to fund a program that is best drunk mental health system? Why do not those who are part of the “problem” will be part of the “solution”? This logic seems good, until you do the math. If $ 5. to reach 36 billion dollars is needed to modernize the financing of mental health system, how many drinks should be consumed within five to ten years. 36 billion? The answer: 107200000000 drinks. The 107 000 000 000 200 000 000 drinks. To determine the number of drinks per year, that’s all we have to do is this number divided by 10 (for ten-year program) and the result is 10.72 billion. It is always a very large number, fortunately, can be “massaged” even more. According to the website World Factbook, the population of Canada estimates that 33 million people in 2006 was his. Fractionation of 10.72 billion 33 million corresponds to the 325th implementation of what can be understood in relation to the average person, every man, woman and child in Germany is to drink 325 per year for the next ten years to fund mental health news! In other words, these figures are not realistic. More Flaws The “logic” of this program is proposed mental health break, when examined more deeply. For example, why people drink alcohol bottom products like beer, if the increased excise tax applies to all alcoholic beverages? To better understand this, we want an example. Suppose that the average consumption in Canada currently costs $ 00 and third the cost of beer on average $ 1. 00th Based on the proposed price increase, if Joe drinks an average of 5 shots per week, average weekly consumption of alcohol is $ 15. If the figures are the 25th, these figures are calculated from the first 7% more than Joe would have moved before the tax increase proposed. Let’s do a similar exercise with beer. On the basis of the increase in prices should, if the average of five glasses of beer a week Pete or average alcohol consumption per week is $ 5. 25th If figures are calculated, these figures are 5% higher than Pete had moved before the tax increase proposed. The point: because the proposed price relates to products high in alcohol (such plans) relatively less than their counterparts lower in alcohol (beer, for example), why Canadians should switch to products less alcohol ? mental health and alcohol Another question. What if tens of thousands of Canadians are aware that drinking alcohol is not good for her “mental health” significantly reduce their consumption of alcohol or alcoholic beverages at all stop? Where will the money come from to compensate for this lack of revenue? Similarly, if thousands and thousands of Canadians to decide on the alcohol they do not want to pay additional excise duty, and due to stop consuming alcoholic beverages? If this occurs, where the government get the money needed to transform the mental health system? In other words, the Government of Canada is a plan B “realistic” of this great transformation? A logical contradiction On the other hand, it is ironic that those who pay for alcoholic beverages will be revised mental health system? Is this not a contradiction in the logic somewhere in this proposal? In other words, when tens of thousands of Canadians have a mental illness or alcohol or drug dependent, the government does not want Canadians to drink less alcohol alcohol abuse exist, to reduce alcoholism and alcohol-related mental health problems? But after the current proposal on mental health from a strictly economic standpoint, it seems that the Canadian government, the entire banking system upgrade mental system on historical data that strongly suggests that Canadians continue their current levels or even higher consumption drinking. Misperceptions of budgetary control Whatever happens, for example, if cost overruns in the proposed mental health system? There are, of course, to mention two “simple” solutions to this problem: the excise tax on each glass and motivate Canadians to consume more alcoholic beverages. Either a “solution” is due to the fact that, given the evidence in respect of work, “the mental health system should be improved by Canadians, alcoholic beverages continue to be funded. Completion It seems logical to conclude that the Canadian system of mental health needs an overhaul. As with most comprehensive state programs, but the funding issue is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. The Canadian proposal to upgrade the mental health system is no exception. Based on the above reasons, it seems clear that the Canadian government to come up with other sources of income generation for the needs of the project is worthwhile. In fact, the point on a major “error” in the current proposal, consider the following question: When is drinking more, “a good thing?” Answer: If a national system upgrade finance mental health. Something tells me that Andy Rooney of “60 Minutes” would have a lot of fun with this. Copyright 2007 - Denny Soinski.
