Spillane is an alcoholic with multiple DUIs. He's also a domestic terrorist. Alcoholism is co-morbid with mental illness, but yes we all need better healthcare. I am well aware of the truth of these broken systems.

Question for you, bc you raise an interesting point about alcoholism: have we done better with ending the stigma which people with substance use disorders (like alcohol & narcotics) face or the stigma people face if they have a diagnosis of bipolar, depression, anxiety and other affect disorders?

No, because there still isn't adequate healthcare access or education in America.
