[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690659, member: 1550"] Ok. I found something and it makes the U.S. look terrible. Of course, Norway is a very small country so it's more doable, but in Norway, one of the countries I wish I'd been born in, they can't stop schizophrenia, but there are no homeless mentally ill . It is forbidden. Even more sensibly, the very mentally ill can be treated against their will. The goal is to offer enough help to keep even their sickest in the home. And guess who is mandating this humanity? Um, the Norwegian government. So much for big government being bad, but I never thought big government was bad anyway. Sorry to throw in a bit of my politics. Our government allows the private sector to take care of the mentally ill, and it's a disaster. Kudos to Norway. Sorry, but thumbs down to us. Although this is probably expensive so is continuing to jail and hold our sickest mentally ill homeless. And it is oddly insanity (no pun intended) to give psychotic people rights over their own treatment. Many are as out of it as those with Alzheimer's. We are so lacking in our care of the mentally ill. Cop a, this may be what you saw as this country will intervene early and do much for its citizens. Shame on us for our lack of compassion.
