Piss Poor Support Services for "Mentally Ill" Dover Kent UK

Queen Mab | 03.02.2005 08:57 | Health | Repression | South Coast

The provision of services in Dover, Kent UK for the mentally ill is woefully inadequate. No wonder so many people top themselves.

For those living in Dover, support services for the mentally ill are piss poor. Here are some tentative conclusions I have reached:

1. One locally operating alleged mental health charity is merely a hoover for local government funds whilst providing a lowest common denominator crap service for as few people as it can get away with. It's only interested in dealing with the most manageable "service users".

2. Anti-psychotic drugs are a means of social control, aimed at zombifying people so that they are no longer seen as a threat to society, or a way of 'hiding' the mentally ill so that adequate social services do not need to be provided.

3. GPs and psychiatrists are highly paid drug dealers.

4. The major beneficiary of all the misery of the mentally ill is the big Pharmaceutical companies.

5. It would sure help if the NHS hired witch-doctors/psychiatrists who came from, and had the same cultural origin, as the people they are treating. Otherwise, they are likely to make big clinical errors.

6. No-one gives a shit about any of this. It would be better if those classified by The State as officially mentally ill would: A) take their deadening, toxic medication and die slowly whilst making massive profits for multinational drugs firms or B) fuck off and die as soon as possible.

7. Treating people as though they are mental spastics or patronising them to a high degree doesn't help either.

Erm...that's it. Rant over for now.
