May is Mental Health Month. This provides an opportunity for mental health advocates like meself to cram useful information down the public's collective throat—albeit in a disarmingly funny way so they don't really notice they're getting their medicine. (It's how I used to pill my cat too.)

So I want the readers of this blog to write to me with your demands, and then we'll create a master list that I'll publish here and in my column.

How can we improve the mental health care system? What do we want our peers, our legislators, our employers and doctors to do differently?

Speak out, good TwS readers, and tell you friends. Let's mobilize!
