If you haven’t watched this campaign video from ManDownCornwall I urge you to take the time today. It’s powerful, real heartbreaking and very thought provoking youtube.com/watch?v=HlrIB_…
Hope Virgo Took just over 20 years for treatment to 'work' for me.
It is worth it.
The idea that people are being left to die is just so wrong.
Hope Virgo In my experience, I was discharged into sole care of GP (who admitted they were ill-equipped and unable to offer any MH support); left alone
to cope as best I could. So the concept of “palliative care” is deceiving, as in truth, it is a total withdrawal of any specialised care.
Hope Virgo Not at all. That’s the same way as saying we should give up on those with treatment resistant depression and schizophrenia. As nurses we should always look for a different way to treat people if the current way isn’t working not give up!
