BBC Breakfast
« on: June 16, 2012, 08:14:03 AM »
Not sure if it will be repeated or on the internet but there was an interesting article on mental illness on BBC  Breakfast this morning.  An MP talking about his illness - Charles Walker?

There was a debate on the lack of mental health funding in the House of Commons a few days ago. Quite a few MPs spoke very bravely about their experiences with depression, OCD and PND.

Well done to them for speaking out

I think it was the same MPs being interviewed, I agree, the more that people like that and sportsmen speak out in theory the less stigma there should be
