We are told in the newspapers of recent date that another woman named
walked out of one of our exclusive private hospitals....the presumption
is suicide. We are not dealing with mental health. Some say there are
so many groups representing suicide that it exceeds the number of people
who commit suicide. Personally the people I have contacted and
successfully are the Samaritans. As a public patient for nearly six
months in a psychiatric hospital, my in-hospital 'mentor' Eleanor, a
patient, once a teacher, told me what she was going to do. I reported
it. She walked out of the hospital and into the nearest and Eleanor
took her life. These are the silent voices lost in the cries of so many
historic scandals that can only yield an acknowledgement and a monetary
compensation payment.
It is now we need to think about vulnerable people.
Charles Murray spoke about the 'Underclass'.
Mental health challenged and linked closely to drug/alcohol addiction
puts people on the path to disaster and shame. They are defined by
their bad teeth, their palor, their inability to work, their path to
homelessness or reliance on their family for support financial and
otherwise.
The hostels: they should be empowering people to independent living.
They do not.
I think what the one liner in the US is 'Orange is the New Black'.
Mergers and acquisitions is what the business markets tell us lie
ahead. Mental health needs to tap into their expertise and arrive at a
suitable programme for people who encounter mental health related
situations. One more point: methadone is the artificial happy pill.
Remember now people are living longer. Dependence needs to be tackled
and a good start would be to provide methadone minus the sugar which
destroys the teeth.
