Rejected petition mental health and physical health to be treated separately
When trying to receive support with mental health we are put onto a waiting list without any support where as physical health You will be seen instantly!.. when applying for benefits your forever filling in forms about how far you can walk etc which is irrelevant to mental health.
More details
Mental health and physical health needs to be separated and treated completely different and support needs to be there for mental health sufferers as it is for physical difficulty.. the nhs needs to change its approach and the benefits need to be completely changed to 2 parts of disability claims one for physical health and one for mental health..
