Mental Health and the candidates

Here's an article that explores the candidates positions from the perspective of mental health.

Here's the ending summary:

Based upon our findings, we’d have to say the stronger mental health and psychology candidate is Obama. Whereas McCain tends to support mental health causes when in the majority, he doesn’t appear to go out on a limb for anything in the areas of mental health or psychological sciences funding. Obama, on the other hand, has co-sponsored a major piece of Senate legislation in mental health (mental health parity) and shows he understands the stigma still associated with mental health issues in his co-sponsorship of the Mothers Act.

The differences between these two candidates’s stances on mental health issues are not clearly significant. They both appear to appreciate that mental health often gets the short end of the stick when it comes to healthcare policy decisions in general, and we believe would both work to help end the discrimination that exists today for people with a mental illness.
