And with mental illness, we should not treat every diagnosis the same. And the subcategories of diagnosis based upon the symptoms. A lot of what I do now, for example, I work with people with very serious post-traumatic stress disorder.

which can have very, very major consequences from moments, severe depression, severe anxiety, debilitating levels of that, psychotic behaviors from massive stress, but you don't treat them all the same. And what we can do is help a lot of people with PTSD.

So two, it is with psychosis, we can help a lot of people, but it's going to take a leader within SAMHSA, that assistant secretary coming in and say, no, we're not doing everybody the same way. And two, we're going to stop the goofy programs. Absolutely stop them. There's no more room for grants for yoga classes or for art classes or anything like that.

You want to do that, go somewhere locally for that. Go to your local community center and get people some art classes. It's valuable, but it's not mental illness treatment. And say the money we have, the very limited money we have, we're going to spend on these things. For example, I think this year's cyclic grants, I think it's something like 15 to 20 million nationwide for AOT. You kidding me?

A couple of counties could eat that up. In Pennsylvania, they passed a law in 2018 that said they gave counties wherewithal and permission to do AOT. One county is doing it so far and not very much. Major counties like Philadelphia and Allegheny, they're not doing it. So it is this level that the assistant secretary has to hold states accountable. Say, what are you doing?

And when states say we need more money, it says, tell me what you're doing. We want to see your plan of action and give evidence that what you're doing makes sense. Give us some accountability numbers and don't just tell us it's improving by a percent of points. That's in general what has to happen, but it really is going to take someone.
