25% of the British are Mentally Ill (UK Chief Medical officer)

[dennyg]

On the BBC morning news, 8th Sep last, the UK's Chief medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies (reputed to be one of the ten most powerful women in Britain) declared that "One in 4 of the UK population are mentally ill, and 70% are not receiving any help at all". So ... over ten million Brits need help 'cos they're mentally ill. Throughout the interview she repeatedly used the terms "mentally ill" and "mental illness". The interviewer interjected at one point "mental health problems?" ... but this had no effect. Dame Sally carried on trying to convince us that 25% of us are mad. Later I tried to find a copy of this interview on the BBC web site ... it wasn't there - they'd replaced it with a different interview, this one:

Note how she now stresses "mental Health" and "mental ill Health" - I presume the BBC weren't happy with the original interview.

Three weeks later a newspaper report stated that '38% of NHS staff had reported episodes of mental health problems over the previous 12 months'.

I've observed recently that lots of people in the UK seem to be experiencing: Cognitive impairment, Selective amnesia, Thought disorder, and Paradoxical anger - side effects of psychiatric drugs (especially benzodiazepines).

I'm pretty sure that they've had issues with sperm bank babies with the same dad getting married because so few donors want their identity disclosed. So maybe these inbred kids are to blame
