During the Reagan presidency we took a major step backwards in terms of Mental healthcare.
Reagan ended nearly all government support for mental healthcare.
Patients who were being treated and housed at mental health facilities were order to be throw onto the streets without any support.
Mental health patients were basically left out in the cold without any support, Reagan had them made homeless and destitute without one caring for them, and without any access to proper medical care.
I think his actions really set mental healthcare in the US back decades, we still haven't recovered from his actions IMHO.
