    I’m guessing roughly 1 a day.

    I want to add, it’s not shocking. It is impossible to afford any kind of real mental health care. $50 sessions for a therapist are only worth their weight in gold; only if you can afford it.

    If you or your child needed therapy you are looking at ~7 hours of minimum wage once a week in order to afford it assuming you have insurance.

    We don’t take mental health seriously in the United States.

        Actually, @POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com is closer. There have been 323 in the US this year which makes it 0.93 school shootings per day or 1.79 school shootings per school day in the US (assuming 180 school days a year)

      Even with therapy, its often an issue with the home environment that cant be mental.health.care’d away. Often theres a raging psycho creating a shit environment and making everyone crave for them to just fuck off and let them live and thats often exactly what everyone needs

      Psychos dont tend to pursue non-flattering diagnoses and admitting their imperfections or straight-up schemings
