Have sufferers of mental health problems seen by services before it's critical
After waiting for months to be referred to any kind of mental health service as I wasn't 'critical enough', my weight had dropped to less than 5 stone and my depression was at an all time low. I want all suffers of mental health problems to be seen by services before they reach a critical point.
More than one in ten (12%) people with mental health problems are stuck on waiting lists for over a year before receiving talking treatments and over half (54%) wait over three months, reveals a new report launched by the We Need to Talk coalition of which the mental health charity Mind is part of. By reaching 100k signatures this issue will be considered for debate in parliament and hopefully more funds can be put into helping individuals get the help they need before it's critical.
