I feel it's all the same. addiction is also SH . MH services are awful here. seems to me only those prepared to scream from the rooftops get seen. squeaky wheel and all that.I see this more on par with addiction than anorexia/ED. Bizarre decision-making when those battling psychiatric disorders don’t get anywhere near the level of funding and resources cases like this seem to.
They need to use the same "on a need basis" as emergency services in an accident situation . the ones making noise are OK, it's the ones being very quiet who need help the most.
Is this man actually getting real help for the deeper problem? looks to me like they are allowing him to get food from outside .. first, his mama enabled him and now the hospital.
