"We couldn't be making as much money, if we had to deal with stranger behaviour. And right now, anybody who slows down our economic productivity, off they go. We have a place for them, the psychiatric institution. That's the main thing, they slow things down"

- Chester Brown

About this Quote

This quote by Chester Brown is a commentary on the way society worths economic performance over mental health. He suggests that individuals who do not fit into the conventional financial system are viewed as a concern and are typically sent out to psychiatric organizations. This suggests that society is more worried with economic performance than with assisting those who are battling with psychological health issues. Brown's quote is a criticism of the method society views mental health and how it is typically viewed as a limitation to financial performance. He suggests that rather of sending individuals to psychiatric institutions, society should concentrate on supplying mental health support and resources to those who need it. This would help to create a more inclusive and encouraging society that values psychological health as much as financial productivity.
