woah kat, that is awful indeed!
Apparently the Rudd govenment is putting a lot into mental health, but i do hope that a lot of that is into acute mental health.....
I love to bitch about this LOL....but i think that deinstitutionalisation was one of the worst choices for mental health. Has left people on the streets etc, really not fair at all! There was an eposode of 'Insight' (on channel 2) about it a while ago, was really informative.
I was at the suicide forum in melb last year, and this guy said that he used to go down to the local supermarket at night and help them stock the shelves when he was unwell, cus he knew that it would keep his mind busy and it was better than going into the system. I thought that was awsome lol.
anyways....im blabbering now....sorry guys :P
