How to deal with mental illness in society?

Asked by incendiary_dan (13401points) January 10th, 2011

With all the talk about the recent shooting in Arizona by a reportedly mentally disturbed person, I got to wondering how we, as a society, can act to deal with mental illness, and perhaps even prevent or soften the character or many cases. Can communities somehow have outreach and systems of support for mentally ill people? Do you have any ideas?
