Care For Your Mind: As the provisions of the Affordable Care Act are implemented, what are the big changes you see for mental health care?
David Baron: Mostly, they are positive changes. More people will receive services whether under expanded Medicaid or purchasing insurance: this will enable them to seek care that they might not have had previously. The key will be making sure there are enough professionals to provide the care that people need and, of course, helping people to understand what kind of care they are entitled to.
