Rejected petition Make mental health medication free
Rejected on
If a person is working they are eligible to pay for their mental health medication.
People are having to face the choice of pay for their 'sanity' or go without and suffer.
I personally have had to sacrifice my depression medication because I could not afford the prescription price.
Contraception is free on the nhs and engaging in sexual activities is I'm most cases a choice. Mental health isn't a choice
