MENTAL HEALTH
PAGE
Updated 22nd November 2006
Hits:
I have created
this
page, that details some information
of which I trust will be useful to all and cover some aspects
of Health Concerns... Mental illness currently
affects a large number of the population. Unfortunately, there is still a
great deal of stigma attached to conditions that affect the mind. Mostly due
to ignorance. For instance, take
BIPOLAR DISORDER commonly known as manic
depression.
BIPOLAR DISORDER sufferers and their families can often feel isolated
within the wider community. However, help is offered from the manic
depressive fellowship. They run self help groups
in most local areas and excellent web support can be found at their website:
A useful book to read was
written by a psychiatrist who herself is a sufferer of Bipolar Disorder: Kay
Redfield Jamison. She has written several books about her experiences of
this illness and writes from the unusual perspective of being both patient
and doctor.
Other
useful websites: Saneline provide help at
the other end of the phone for anyone affected by mental health issues, be
it the sufferer, a relative, friend or carer. They can be contacted on
0845 767 8000 Mind is another charitable
organisation specialising in help with mental health issues. Their website
contains information about all aspects of mental health including the
elderly who are sometimes the "forgotten" sector of the community, yet need
as much help and support in this area as the younger generation
