Am a mental health nurse of 20 years experience. You are absolutely right. I would put myself out of a job if I could discharge all the people who think they’re mentally ill but are just having normal reactions to life events

Also a mental health nurse and couldn’t agree more. We are human. Sometimes we feel low, anxious, stressed. There is so much we can do to help ourselves as well. We need to normalise not medicalise!

Thanks ladies.

There are many people with diagnosed mental health conditions right now who are on waiting lists for months without any therapy. "Parity of esteem" for mental health is just dandy but nothing has changed, or will change, until there are more qualified mental health therapists.

Nothing to do with massive benefit payments to those with mental health issues? The new bad back!
-
A little bit cynical Paul, not to mention inaccurate. The vast majority of those who suffer from some sort of mental health problem do not receive benefits as a consequence. They have to show incapacity to work, which is no mean feat.
-
Unfortunately I beg to differ, I frequently come across perfectly well teenagers who all get paid due to some sort of diagnosis. It seems to be easier to label than discipline nowadays!
-
Hi Paul what figure do they get paid? In what situation are you frequently interacting with teenagers?

It could also cause more serious problems - labeling people as having a mental illness could become self fulfilling.

Exactly what I thought. Deepest sympathy with those who have real mental disorders. We have not done any favours to young people sheltering them from the realities of life. When sports day was turned into something where everyone was a winner for example

This is what happens to Generation Snowflake. How they will survive in the real world I have no idea. Better find a safe place and wrap themselves in cotton wool.
