So Many Broken Americans

when a person is broken, wounded, what helps those who recover and heal accomplish that?

When you listen to the speeches politicians make about how they vow to promise a better economy, jobs, all that abstract stuff, where are the specific examples of broken people in their district? it seems that the American psychological state is irrelevant to the strength of our country--a so called superpower..  And so very many live in hopeless despair just getting from one day to the next?

There's talk of mental illness as it relates to guns--but what about how it relates to people's general  dispositions for a multitude of reasons, some familial, some societal, some governmental.?

So very very many people in America are tired, dejected, deflated, disheartened...many of them long ago stopped following political discourse--much less a proactive approach to their neighbors. On the street where I live, of amongst a dozen houses, I know not one name.
That shame is not just mine but oh so many of our anonymous neighbors and possible friends. I think TV is  mostly to blame.
