This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Provide more support and help for those with mental health disorders.
There is not enough support out there for mental health.
I myself was refused care in order to stop self harming- I was told that if I did want help I needed to pay for each session (around 50 pounds for an hour) and I was also told that I would have to drive an hour each time.
This has to stop.

The right help is often not given, and when it is the waiting list is so incredibly long you're holding on by a thread to stay well.
The statistics of mental health are consistently on the rise- and this is because we are being refused the help we need.
I am asking for a change- these services should in no question be paid for by the sufferer. The help should also be regular and given as quickly as possible to reduce suicide statistics- another huge problem from being given inadequate help.
