I watched a programme about 7 years ago on the ineffectiveness of our mental health systems and how emergency teams had let families down. There was this one mother who stayed awake for 48 hours with her son rang emergency team 4 times, but the team decided that because he had been known to them for a few years plus his mother was ther they decided to lower his priority. He's mum fell asleep....There were hundreds of stories like this and still the govt won't increase the mental health budget. This not just in my area but nation-wide.
