CNN.com - Situation Room on Mental Health careTranscripts

CNN.com - Situation Room on Mental Healthcare:
THE SITUATION ROOM
"Did Mental Health System Fail Virginia Tech Gunman?"

BLITZER: My next guest is an author of a powerful book. It's entitled, "Crazy: A Father's Search through America's Mental Health Madness." Pete Earley is joining us here in THE SITUATION ROOM

[snip]

EARLEY: It's very hard to get a person mental health services until they hurt someone or someone else and that's just wrong. I live in Fairfax County, Virginia, one of the most richest counties in Virginia. There's a two-month wait to get someone into a treatment program, a six-month wait to get a case manager, 18-year wait to get someone into housing. That's how bad our mental health services are. They're just not funded.
