Top Five changes we Need - and More

#1 Reclassify SMI (Serious Mental Illness) as a physical/medical, not behavioral condition - we need to fund more research : and Why is there no cure for SZ?

#2 - HIPAA (discussed in more detail in Episode 4)

#3 - Repeal the IMD Exclusion (would make more hospital beds available for SMI)

#4 - Full Continuum of Care

#5 - Decriminalize SMI

Also : Early signs? Early Detection.
