because this country has a bad attitude to mental health unfortunatley. mention you are depressed people label you as a nut job. Ive had it before. a healthy mind is just as important as anywhere else in the body

Physical health problems have a smaller budget-most problems are solved by the individual. Not so with mental health as counselling and rehab may be needed. I am afraid it comes down to money in the end.

Maybe because there is little lobbying for services by the mental health community and people seeking or using mental health support.

I don't know. I'm from Canada and the gov't doesn't cover therapy at all. It's not even just the gov't it's also teachers and just anyone in general. If you have a physical problem you have an excuse. If it's mental no one gives a damn it seems

the NHS is just starting to get people to recognise that mental health issues are not a label but can be a permanent part of someone and does not make then psychotic, this is just now finally being recognised as an impairment.

The goverment does not think so! People with mental illness, do need more help. Mainly beacuse their brain is not working properly! I lost my right leg, Yet my mind is clear!! Yes, I need help to walk, that's why I have a Prostesis.

Give examples! As far as I know current legislation is in place to affect all those who have a physical or mental impairment. Do you mean financial aid, assistance in the home or what?

Broken leg syndrome. You can see a broken leg, you cannot see mental health problems.
