An Open Message to Nithya Ramen our New Mayor in Los Angeles, from Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

67 % of all homelessness is because of mental illness. We need more psychiatric hospitals! Now! Placing untreated mentally ill people in newly constructed housing won’t solve the problem. It’s just throwing money away.

Thanks for watching.

Battling Tyranny by Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

When was the last time you were proud to be an American? It’s been many years for me. Then last night happened. The blue wave… What a relief! Tyranny and billionaires who supported Trump were defeated. Next, let’s fight for universal healthcare, great educations for our kids, the right for a woman to choose whether she wants an abortion, and the right for gays and LGBTs to live in peace with the sexuality they were born with.

Thanks for watching and reading my books.
