Here's how stark the situation in Northern Ireland is, outlined in a 2018 editorial in the @TheLancetPsych https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(18)30392-4/fulltext …pic.twitter.com/WxxZeaTx9k

Always slightly mystified why the situation in Northern Ireland gets ignored by the wider UK mental health community. 30+ years of armed conflict, highest prevalence of mental health problems in the UK, shockingly low level of investment in services.https://twitter.com/BBCNewsNI/status/1223625637388263424 …

Don't get me wrong, lots of important improvements to campaign for in UK mental health, but surely adequate services for an area with a legacy of armed conflict, UK's highest suicide rate, and half (half!) the funding of the rest of the country should be pretty high up the list.

Underinvestment in MH in NI stretches back a long time so it will take significant investment to bring parity with the rest of the UK. However, the NI government has made promising moves in recent years. For example,we are now training more clinical psychologists than ever.

So very grateful to all the committed organisations, researchers and individuals who are shining a light on the situation. Recently I notice many younger people raising awareness and asking questions - reasons to be hopeful:https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/i-d.vice.com/amp/en_uk/article/m7qv9v/activism-mental-health-crisis-northern-ireland-pure-mental …

Clinicians have been taking a closer look at people living in these chronic warfare environments. A diagnosie that is often used is continuous traumatic stress disorder (CTSD). I haven't heard it applied to Northern Ireland but it seems relevant.https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/special/6041905 …

Our shrinks are doing more harm than good! We might invest in a genuine psychology, and just leave off the drugging people for profit.
