Surely Psychiatrists want better for their patients than 20% of them living a life of HELL in Isolation until they become ANGRY.  Apparently 80% of Mental Health Clients get work but though they may have done well at School I would guess that most of those people are on the lowest wages.  It's very complicated why people do not succeed or very simple.  STIGMA.  A Society that wanted to help the Mentally Ill lead full + HAPPY  lives would concentrate on making sure that we have close to 100% employment.  People label people that are unemployed for long periods as Career Beneficiaries…..and it goes on and on and on.  Unless we give people tailored employment instead of leaving them to rot on benefits we breed Hostility from either side of the fence.  I am hated for being a Bludger + not making enough effort even though I trained for three years and always hoped to find employment.  But the stigma is always there and the situation gets much worse when you realize your situation was virtually hopeless.  I resent that the solution for Human Beings that present with Mental Ill is simply to drug them up.  We need Hope and Employment.  Drugging people to the eyeballs is dangerous to their Health.  People need safe environments in which they can flourish and Drug regimes should be minimal.
