    "content": "We are insisting of doing it because we want to do it. However, here is a situation where we require to care for a person individually. People with mental illness cannot be lumped together for one care. It requires individualized care because the situations are different. Therefore, we must develop systems and institutions for care of those who are already sick. We must go beyond that and identify those who are in line and show symptoms. There are many ways of telling that and helping them within the family. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill tries to cover all that. It may not everything, but it tries to take care of that. The other thing is treatment of patients has always been a burden to families. Unless we get out of the situation where we think mental illness is a curse, a spell or heredity, we cannot treat the person properly. Mental illness is part of the physical body. That must be dealt with. I hope that our hospitals, including the national referral hospitals as well as the county referral hospitals, can begin to address the issue of treatment and employing specialists to identify this. Madam Temporary Speaker, since we have agreed that every market has its mentally ill people, it means that we already have ready patients. Therefore, we must treat them. However, some of the facilities and ideas given for treatment can be more destructive than helpful. In order to literally get rid of this person or to quickly get away from dealing with this problem, many patients are sedated and allowed to sleep.
