So very true Ryan and it is also a fact that even some people with diagnosed mental issues who are being treated within the system are often failed due to inconsistencies, indifferences and inadequacies. In my family we have someone that has had a diagnosed / prescription medicated suicidal tendency issue since early teenage years who has recently been subject to a change in care regime that brought about a change in prescribed medication and who has now been without medication for weeks due to inflexibility not allowing the renewal of prescriptions in the absence of the new practitioner (due to his being on holiday and then subsequently having Covid). Needless to say there is considerable concern and immediate family who have an absolute desire to help are frustrated that they are stonewalled by the lack of useful information that the system can provide (for reasons related to the privacy of this now adult). I have no answers but I have a huge desire to be part of a solution for anyone dealing with the demons of depression and despair.
