In an article in The Guardian recently, a psychiatrist says
that despite the fact that one in four Brits suffers from mental
health problems during their lives, psychiatry has been under resourced
for years. In 1997, the politicians in Britain declared mental health
to be one of its top three priorities (along with cancer care and
heart disease). However, according to a mental health charity, mental
health spending has not increased in proportion with the other two
areas.
