Changing minds takes time!

There have been numerous campaigns in recent years to tackle the stigma related to mental health. We know that public services are stretched in relation to accessible health care for people experiencing mental and emotional distress. Change can take decades, but it does happen! Only 50 years ago homosexuality was catagorised as a mental disorder, and it was only through social means that this changed. Depression and anxiety disorders are often characterised as weaknesses, but this is only down to cultural values and messages passed down the generations. This is the thing we can work on.
