political problem: Political Problem: Suicide is a major cause of death in the united states, and it’s a problem that goes beyond one person, as it can have a long-lasting effect on communities. We have a significant disparity in how mental health is treated compared to physical conditions, as people with mental health issues do not have suitable care.
my policy solution; The government has to step in and create campaigns to raise awareness, mainly awareness of the sources available to help suicidal civilians. There are not effective and lowcost reachable services and sources of help, there needs to be a health insurance policy in which people with a mental health condition can have more accessible coverage.
