Our thanks to Martin for this, a piece in the Guardian. Oddly, no journalist is cited, and it’s ‘paid for by MQ: Transforming Mental Health’. Is this a sign of the financial pressures the ghastly rag is facing? MQ’s website is here.
One possible explanation for increasing rates of mental illness in young women is never admitted by government departments, nor in the mainstream media – the increasing pressure on women to act like men in terms of paid employment.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

“but they also said a new screening tool may be detecting more cases” And here is the problem increasingly such things pick up on “distress” or “stress” as it was called and decide people are ill rather than that such things are a part of life. I’m not sure whether its a good or bad thing that an increasing number of young women are being persuaded they are mentally ill. In a way its a gift to those of a traditional notion of gender as it appears solid proof that females are mentally fragile.
