The Psychiatric Nurses that cared for me were Delightful people and I thank them.
However, I remember discussing the fact that Work is what Psychiatric Patients need to earn a Living and feel part of the Community. His response reflected the typical APATHY that surrounds the Care of the Mentally Ill. He said that there are so many Unemployed he couldn't see how. ….or something along those lines. That is my POINT. To give these People a Decent Chance at Life We have to Design Work for Every Living Human Being that wants to Work. Every Young Person needs to Know that they will not risk falling into the Abyss of Unemployment. I still believe that failing going back to having Psychiatric Hospitals We need Drop in Centre's that offer the Opportunity of Paid Work. Simple tasks for those that are unwell or under the Influence of Substances. More complex for those that are Recovering. The only Way that We can Protect the Mentally Ill is by Protecting Everyone so let's Do It. PLEASE.
I can tell You that Living with Mental Illness is a Living Hell. Stigma Tortures the Soul. If We are to reduce the Hostility, the Hatred and the Fear that engenders Bullying towards those that are more Vulnerable We need to Stop Gap that Chasm that people are falling into. PLEASE
