That's insane. Unbelievable.

Yeah. You know, it's interesting enough, but right now we're, you know, with Human, we're doing some things around substance abuse education training. We just trained like 30 young people to go into the community to talk about this issue. And what you're saying is that 93% of them, of people that they may be talking to won't even have access?

Wow. Wow, that's good to know, but it's also sad to know. Exactly. Especially with the issues that we're having that are being compounded by the stressors, the fake news, and relationship, all those kinds of things. It's something that we really, as a community, have to think about and talk about.

So I'm going to put this in perspective a little bit. When I was an undergrad at the University of Minnesota, I had a position at Fairview Hospital on the West Bank of the river as a psychiatric technician for adolescents. And many, many of those kids that were admitted to the hospital back then were, quote, behavior problems. That's what they were diagnosed as. behavior problems.

And although we did see, you know, medically oriented, you know, problems as well, paranoia, psychosis, you name it. But has the language of mental health changed?

And yet they were hospitalized.

with adequate uh numbers of clinicians and resources things don't get better yeah so let me talk about also um over the years you know in your practice have you seen a a major change in medication for instance you know medications tend to incrementally improve um and um and help

All right. So for our listening audience, this gives us frankly just a tip of the iceberg of addressing mental health. Hopefully in our next two shows with Dr. Trangle, we'll be able to look at, we'll get a little bit more into the nitty gritty I know, for instance, that Mike is very involved with policy changes, and hopefully we'll be able to share that with all of you so that you're aware.

You're simply aware of what's out there. Hopefully our goal for Clarence and I and Health Chatter is to really, really break through even more the stigma that's attached to mental health. Because yes, I would say it's maybe gotten better, but it could be a lot better than when we're at for sure. So any other closing thoughts for this segment, Mike?

a couple months ago on the issue of trust. So let's just say, for instance, you know, you have a patient. It seems to me when you're dealing with mental health issues, probably many health issues, but certainly with mental health issues, there's got to be a real trust factor between the patient and the provider. Talk to me about that a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
