David Satcher Treatment Quotations

The problem now is that often, mental health problems are not recognized until late, ... We want to make sure that we bring the best treatment to bear in this system. We want to make sure that we continue to research.

We believe the treatment is to really discuss this issue with (patients) and to try them make them understand that we are able to respond, but to also understand the harm that can be done if people hoard antibiotics, use them inappropriately so that we develop more resistant strains

While mental disorders may touch all Americans, either directly or indirectly, all do not have equal access to treatment and services. The revolution in science that has led to effective treatments for mental illnesses needs to benefit every American of every race, ethnicity and culture.
