Come back to posts written before – because things don’t always improve – however much you wish they would.
“Japan recently renamed schizophrenia as an “integration disorder”” (more)
Hear constantly about all the terrible things happening around the World and like everyone else worry – about Climate Change, the Ukraine and the Middle East even about donkeys being maltreated in other parts of the World.
Love donkeys and care about all these things but – who really is doing scientific research into serious problems like Schizophrenia? What happened to Doctors supporting people and being available for routine appointments – for Mental Health issues? The arrival of Covid which at the beginning was a dangerous illness, meant support – went out the window. We were so unprepared and still are.
This might be a reason to rejoin Europe as well as free movement, like before. We would support a Referendum if it was honest. The impact on our own lives and business since the last one has been massive and not in a good way.
Another question, we wonder why is Open Dialogue in the UK still mainly a privately funded organisation and located in only a few parts of the UK – if it helps – makes a difference? Only accessible if you have money to pay for it and can afford to travel to where it is located which even with money is difficult for people facing emotional challenges to do.
Why cant our NHS minimum support families facing these issues with a care package which includes access to – a free nutritionist and fitness instructor minimum. And not just for the recently diagnosed.
If Cannabis or Skunk are seriously contributing to Psychosis in the young – why isn’t more being done to warn young people in schools, nightclubs, pubs,, music concerts and unbelievingly sports venues?
Japan and other cultures are trying to reset and look for a more modern approach. One Japanese family wanted the name to be changed – because of stigma attached to Schizophrenia.
We know that the meds prescribed to treat Schizophrenia have debilitating side effects and we are little tired (well very) of hearing the phrase comparing the need for meds similar to Diabetes.
We need a new approach to this serious condition and one accessible to everyone. We need money put into research and we need everyone to be more inclusive.
