The underfunded American healthcare system struggles to adequately address psychological issues. Limited funding results in insufficient mental health resources, such as a shortage of qualified therapists, long wait times for treatment, and high costs for care. Many individuals lack insurance coverage for mental health services, leading to unmet needs and worsening conditions. Public stigma around mental illness compounds the problem, discouraging people from seeking help. Without systemic reform and investment, millions face barriers to essential psychological care, exacerbating societal issues like homelessness, addiction, and workplace productivity loss.
