There has been discussion about whether the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that took effect in 2018 will increase tax revenue. Tax revenue can be thought of an as average tax rate multiplied by taxable income. If the average tax rate falls while taxable income stays the same, tax revenue will fall. But what if the tax cuts increase taxable income? Both of the major schools of thought in macroeconomics (Keynesians and Neoclassicals) believe that tax cuts increase economic growth. Economic growth increases taxable income. Our recent economic growth has brought unemployment down to historically low levels.

Think about this. Reply to these questions to begin your discussion:

• Do you think that the tax cuts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will increase economic growth and taxable income so much that tax revenue will increase?
• Or do you think that the tax cuts will reduce tax revenue? Explain your answers.

Stigmatization is one of the biggest challenges faced by individuals who are mentally ill. Individuals with mental illness engage in certain behaviors that are troublesome, disruptive and frightening. Most people affected are the family members who have to manage, tolerate or control such kinds of responses.

Secondly, a major clinical challenge is associated with hospitalization issues. Some of the psychiatric problems manifest as physical symptoms. These physical symptoms require unique resource consumption for proper diagnoses.

The emotional challenges are grief, stress, depression and anxiety. Fundamental reform in the life of a mentally challenged individual dramatically affects his or her emotional health. It’s hard for one to know if what they are experiencing is depression or stress.

According to the world health organization, one of the unique preparedness needs is the psychological assistance for the mentally ill people. The requirement provides emotional support to the individual with depression as a result of recent events. Psychological first aid should be made available to teachers, volunteers and medical (staff Scheff & Thomas).

The second need is the fundamental mental health care skills which should cover the priority issues like psychotic illness, epilepsy, stress and depression.

Thirdly, equipping more people with skills for psychological interventions. For instance, group therapy, problem-solving and cognitive therapy.

Mental health is a fundamental element for every individual. However, it’s complicated for us to handle since we are not able to define when one is mentally stable or mentally challenged. For example, it’s challenging to determine the social, mental and physical health or infirmity or absence of mental health disease.
