False data has already led us to these abysmal numbers. Trade those cul-de-sacs for Truth. <br /><br />Look at Scientology, i.e. experts on the mind, who have workable solutions anyone can apply. Clear-up any "misunderstoods" and you'll be fine.<br /><br />Go to www.scientology.org/fundamentals-of-thought/videos.html click "Online Courses," dealing with 18 'life' problems/solutions. Each is free and short, 1-2 days, but will last a lifetime. Look, don't listen. Something can be done about it!...Semper Fi giljoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975372531664726948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-22431810090041132672011-10-23T05:41:27.400-07:002011-10-23T05:41:27.400-07:00I have read many such articles and notice that the...I have read many such articles and notice that the lack of physical health care on MH wards in the UK is never mentioned. Patients do not receive essential medications for hypertension and cardiac problems. Very abnormal ECGs and blood tests are not reported to the GP in discharge summaries. The only way a GP becomes aware of these problems is if the patient obtains copies of his/her psych records.<br /><br />Patients' physical problems are also ignored if they attend A&E Departments as doctors refuse to see beyond the MH label.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-67947272201620077672011-10-20T18:45:16.780-07:002011-10-20T18:45:16.780-07:00What are your views on this paper?

It's crazy to think that the mortality rate has been raising, and it's sad to think that these mental illnesses are still not widely understood and supported by the general public.Courtneyhttp://www.northbridgeconsultants.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-82920434374493377192011-10-14T07:12:53.937-07:002011-10-14T07:12:53.937-07:00Does anyone have stats for what happened for the s...Does anyone have stats for what happened for the same time in Canada?

I think your hypothesis that the weight gain associated with atypical antipsychotics may be a culprit is plausible. What we need is one that correlates specific illnesses and levels of severity with mortality rates.Daniel Bhttp://www.bipolartoday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-40847014830668725172011-10-12T16:31:39.228-07:002011-10-12T16:31:39.228-07:00It is sad that in this day and age we cannot find ...It is sad that in this day and age we cannot find ways of helping people with serious mental illness.
