'Historically, we have undertreated and ignored it...we've seen terrible underinvestment in those services.' It's 'difficult to hear' Tony Blair say the UK 'can't afford' its mental health expenses, the Centre for Mental Health's CEO Andy Bell tells Shelagh Fogarty.

@ShelaghFogarty Cortisol is a large factor in this case. Treating with medication only works when other therapies are used at the same time. Sadly, the counter to evidence is "brexit means brexit". People say they care about children, until it means taxes.

Leading psychiatrist says “this is the most important interview of all time, it solves the human condition, ends suffering & turmoil at its source & finally makes sense of our lives!”

@ShelaghFogarty I think Blair's comment is unfair in a society that isn't as interested and helpful to people's lives as it used to be...

@ShelaghFogarty It can. Just raise taxes to other European levels. And in addition to that leaving the EU was possibly the largest mistake made in my lifetime.

@ShelaghFogarty Rich war criminal says life is wonderful.

@ShelaghFogarty Maybe, just maybe, Tony Blair was the actual cause.

@ShelaghFogarty

@ShelaghFogarty We have a mental health crisis, many are left to fend for themselves, absolutely no help & many are children who get very little or no help at all.
