      There’s so much wrong with the system and so much that could done to improve it, but I don’t want to frame it here in a hopeless sort of way. Our treatment options and accessibility continue to improve, social stigma of mental illness has improved tremously in the last decade or two, and there’s no reason to think further advancement won’t continue. But acknowledging the current shortcomings and feeling sad and angry about it are important to drive that positive change.

        I’m in total agreement. What we need is fully nationalised healthcare, with direct political participation from the people.
