As the head of the National Institute of health I would award funding towards microbes and mental health studies. Getting a better understanding of the impacts microbes has on mental health can greatly benefit our understanding of microbes and mental health as mental health can be very vague and sometimes difficult to understand root causes for. By allocating funds for mental health research we avoid needing to treat patients entirely, by enacting preventative care early on in child development minimizing our risks to mental health problems. By entirely avoiding prescriptions for issues that we would someday be able to solve through behavioral changes the decision to seek medical help would only exist in severe cases. I think especially with the growing amounts of mental health problems developing across the nation being able to tackle this problem with what can potentially be a more natural route than being on medication would be favorable for the majority, significantly increasing the chances that mental health issues would become less prevalent.
