Petition Force Mr.Cameron to stick to his promises to increase spending on mental health

Mental illness is an illness like any other. Yet cuts to resources are continuously being made, and those who need help, cannot always find it, living a life of seclusion and loneliness. You can see a broken arm or leg, but you cannot see a broken mind, often leading to despair.

More details

It is estimated 1 in 4 people in Britain suffer from, or have suffered from some form of Mental illness. There is a lot of Stigma attached to this distressing condition, many do not seek help because of the risk of verbal or physical abuse, and live a life of seclusion, often resulting in suicide. Those who seek help, cannot find it as there is nowhere to go, GP's are not trained in this field, and cannot make a diagnosis or know what to prescribe. Mental Health resources must be increased.
