RE: An Alternative Approach To Dealing With Mental Illness

in #police7 years ago

In the UK mental health treatment has been cut t the bone and in many cases it's just about handing out pills and leaving those lucky enough to have family carers to cope. The problem is the carers end up with their own mental health problems as the stress and strain of caring for someone with a long term mental health illness is draining.
More needs to be done across the board as the problem is getting worse, greater understanding and critical funding to help people before they fall into a crisis situation is needed.
