Just heard from a suicidal person who has been waiting ten months for treatment. And is still waiting. Don't believe any politician in power saying they take mental health seriously while this is going on. It's a scandal they get away with, because stigma still exists.
Politics has a choice: short-term political gain, or securing care-free-at-point-of-need for our grandchildren. Its been choosing the former. As ex-MP I and others across the political parties found that deeply frustrating. Politics shld be about the people, not about itself.

alongside constantly increasing resource (or promising to) the gov should be evaluating what about modern society is causing young ppl to kill themselves in droves. there's clearly something unnatural about modern society that's ruining the MH of a generation

@matthaig1 writes brilliantly about how modern life is messing up our mental health -
he does, but he's not in gov. Its not just the party of gov either, no1 wants to admit that our addiction to constant growth is killing us and the unspoken truth, that our main purpose on earth is to generate profit is, imho, a real driver for low self esteem and poor MH

regardless, we're lucky to have Matt speaking truths
