I is for Insane

We all have days when we feel a little unhinged and it can be a thin line between these days and suffering from a mental illness. It is often argued that we are all on the spectrum. Channel 4 is currently running a season of programmes to challenge the stigma of mental health and I was highly impressed by the MPs who spoke out in parliament about their own mental health problems. If those in power can speak about mental health without fear of prejudice, it may inspire others to do so also, and finally the barriers may begin to come down.
