Mental health is just as important as physical health, so why is it that mental health has suffered major budget cuts from the government? Bills H.R. 2646 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act of 2015 and S. 1945 - Mental Health Reform Act of 2015 go hand in hand in taking the necessary steps in the right direction to provide those with mental health issues with the proper care that they need. These bills were introduced in August and November of 2015 and both are still in the introductory stages in the process to becoming laws. Mental health will continue to take a back seat in our government's budget system unless we do something about it.
