Recently it has seemed like attitudes towards mental health are changing. During the UK General Election this year, for example, the seven main political parties all included mental health in their manifestos.
Each included the need for more funding for research, the better setting of standards and time-frames for access to treatment, a focus on young people, motherhood, the disabled and prisoners, as well as the need for more talking therapies. There was also talk of mental health being comparable to physical health and an emphasis on the need to tackle discrimination.
