text: What we also need to be discussing is the lack of mental health care available in Anchorage and America in general.  I have worked in the mental health system in Anchorage and there is a true crisis here.  Since there are waiting lists for every available mental health bed only immediate crisis patients are helped.  What we need to be asking is what are we going to do to provided more mental health care as a country?  How are we going to add more beds?  More or larger facilities to allow adequate care?  When will the laws be changed.  As the law stands now it prevents patients from being held involuntarily if they are not an imminent threat to themselves or others. We do not need more gun control, more TSA we NEED more mental health!
