Over the recovery trainings I was taken, unexpectedly The Parkinson’s Disease Protocol Review and spontaneously, on a journey of great personal significance and professional value. It caused me to re-evaluate and examine all of my experience since my diagnosis. It made me wonder: All the time we are told that mental illness is on the rise, more are depressed, stressed, anxious, more self-medicate, self-harm. Mental health care costs are set to rise steeply.
Soon more than half the population of this country will be statistically mentally ill. And then, who will the mentally ill be? More and more of us seem to be and claim to be mentally ill, if only mildly depressed. Once the mentally ill are definitively in the majority we will be able to say that truly the lunatics have taken over the asylum. And what will that mean for those who run the asylum? Who dictate its policy and procedures? It's a question I lay open to you. Where will we be, and what will mental illness be? We will be living a world of mental illness, not a world with mental illness.
The fundamental distinction that has informed mental health care for generations - that there are more of "us" than "them" - will have gone. We will finally be equal and this knowledge will slowly but inexorably alter our relationship to each other.Whenever service users become well and are recovering there are ripples and resonances felt by those around, and this includes in services. As the service user becomes more stable, strong and confident, services, staff, family and friends and partners all feel it and may question themselves.
