We exist within a Global & interconnected World.
The question is how best to approach National & Global issues in a way that is genuinely intelligent & Civilised.
Over the past 7 years this Tory Government, with full complicity of the mainstream media / general public has committed Democide on the Physically & Mentally disabled. That to me is a very serious issue, injustice & crime. Where is the public outcry? The Nazis started by doing the same thing. The UK is in serious breech of Universal Human Rights. & there are multiple issues / areas concerning the role of the UK domestically & internationally that are under serious question. This is where some people are growing increasingly concerned about where this country is headed, in regards to a Far Right Wing Agenda.

i fully agree with the increasing emphasis on a shift away from an exclusive biomedical / drug focus in mental health / psychiatry to a far more integrated & humane approach to care & treatment. The UN is increasingly calling for a shift to the current mental health system / treatment. This (imo) is very long overdue.
UN call for paradigm shift within mental health & emphasis on human rights -
United Nations Report Calls for Revolution in Mental Health Care
In a new report, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Dr. Dainius Pūras, calls for a move away from the biomedical model and “excessive use of psychotropic medicines”

A global human rights emergency in mental health
We are facing a global human rights emergency in mental health. All over the world people with mental disabilities experience a wide range of human rights violations.

This argument does have significance. i think eventually, who knows when? There will be a very major retraction / shift away from the current biomedical / pharmacological focus -

Do Psychiatrists Harm their Patients out of Stupidity?
An interesting article on the approach to mental health by standard psychiatry.
i am very interested in Michael's work & have chatted with him.
He discusses humanistic alternatives to the biomedical model / approach.
