Include non-judgemental study of the mind as part of all medical training

Petition Details

There is currently a mental health crisis in the UK, with rising rates of anxiety and depression, and an increase in prescriptions for medication to try to alleviate mental problems. However for the most part this only masks the symptoms rather than providing long-lasting cures.

Additional Information

The issue is compounded by the fact that the nonphysical aspects of the human being are mostly ignored in medical training and doctors only study the brain, not the mind and our consciousness.

If the mind is studied, it is to judge it, not to understand it.

New research is showing that the mind is crucial to help people recover from both physical and mental illnesses.

Let's give our doctors the best chance at success by providing them with training in a more holistic approach to our health.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "Include non-judgemental study of the mind as part of all medical training".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
