The article from the New York Times “Trump Wants More Asylums – and Some Psychiatrist Agree” By Benedict Carey informs of since the recent events (school neighborhood shootings, other acts of gun violence) Trump being driven to the decision of need more Asylums. With this Asylums spree killings and mass shootings can be prevented. In addition, “ The majority of these murderers appear to be angry, antisocial individuals-with access to guns-whom the mental health system probably could not have spotted in advance.” The real question the author leaves us with is “ What is good health care , really? And what does the quality say about the society attempting to provide it?”
In the Black community the issue of gun violence is nothing new but to hear that it has became severe enough to impact more than one ethnic group to require more Asylums in the US is more than alarming. This shows overall how mental health has been ignore and pushed over to the side to the point it is an immediate danger to others lives on a large scale ;not just the person who is mentally ill. With all the violence which occurs in our Black communities we need to be aware our the mental impact it has on us and those around us..
