Not sure what it is TBH ..... just think it's absolutely necessary to talk to the right people about Mental Health issues where possible and not treat it as something that people should hide and man up to .... given on the last couple of pages both myself and another poster have mentioned loss of peoples lives to MH issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour govts that weren't blair. im not sure your generation remembers much of the 80s My generation remembers all of that too - but I also manage to understand the modern world and how things change especially when connected to medical problems people suffer. Put simply, I open my eyes to the world we all live in now and do not try to compare to a world long since past to make any comparisons cos they do not work and would just make me look stupid if I did.

You said 'my generation knew hardship' as if every generation hasn't been totally f**ked in some way or another. no idea why you're talking about houses- not the discussion point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) Older generations were less aware of mental health problems, but they were certainly there but just not diagnosed as much I guess. Kids who were misbehaving or not listening and doing poorly at school would have been punished, now they get diagnosed with ADHD and helped. Kids who can't handle certain social or stressful situations and end up dropping out of school and becoming reclusive now get diagnosed with autism and helped. People who have nervous breakdowns in past would just disappear from the workplace and end up in hospital or sectioned and get ECT and sometimes were never seen again, they now often get therapy and/or medication and help in life. People who could not go out due to anxiety or depression just stayed like that, you didn't see them, now again they can get help to live as much of a life as possible. It is better now, but also more visible so feels more common? I had a good friend who when young was a proper geezer and you would never know anything was wrong, but when he hit his late teens his behaviour became very strange and he was eventuallty diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and his life has been kind of f**ked ever since. Not sure why I'm telling you this, just thought of it and it's sad. As far as I know he's not been able to hold down a job since, or any relationship or much of a life.
