Therapy won't help my ADHD or autism. I was born with them. They're also being targeted for cuts. However, I have equipment needs that you may not think of. E.g. assistive software so I can type. Dragon alone costs £1,620 +VAT in a forced subscription model. ClaroRead is £149.99.

Q. Why are so many people on disability benefits for mental illness? A. Tony Blair's Labour Party decided to help poor people by giving them benefits & MH services instead of trying to change the environment with left wing policies & now the left doesn't exist ⚰️ #TakingThePIP

In the Conference on the Future of Europe, people told us how much they cared about mental health. And they are right. Because mental health is simply health. We listened. And today we act, with the first 🇪🇺 approach to mental health - from prevention to treatment and recovery.

Lindsay Clancy supporters need to be careful what they wish for. They think they're raising awareness for women's mental health and PPD - but they're actually sending the message that women aren't safe. These videos are going to be online forever - and they may change conversations about women's mental health. But it won't be for the better.
