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.

NN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a new breed of television “doctor” who has a medical degree and thus must be a health authority. In fact, the opposite is true, Pam Martens writes in "CNN's Sanjay Gupta, Laura Bush and the Marketing of Merck's Gardasil" in the political newsletter Counterpunch. Cth_0701plannerb_ott Gupta has repeatedly endorsed Merck’s controversial vaccine Gardasil as a means of preventing cervical cancer on the air and on his CNN blog in February.

A Greater Sudbury man who had a bad reaction to his anti-depressant medication in January says he didn’t receive much sympathy when he tried to get some help.Poulin was admitted to the North East Mental Health Centre (NEMHC). When he left without telling authorities, police officers came looking for him.The man is telling his story to help prevent his “rude awakening” from happening to someone else.
He says he’s received an apology from NEMHC, but he’s still waiting to get one from the police. Representatives from NEMHC can’t confirm they’ve apologized to him because of privacy legislation.
