		<description><![CDATA[As I pointed out at a recent mental health system meeting in my county, people with mental health problems face two kinds of risks.  The first sort of risk is from the mental health problem itself.  Unless the person finds effective treatment, mental health problems can often cause high distress, disability, and even result in [...]]]></description>
