I need to know why people who go to prison don't get stuck with a life long label yet people who have a mental diagnosis have to carry one forever till their dying day.
If you go to prison and commit the crime and do the crime you get redemption. You have been punished and you have a second chance for a clean break.
Some crimes disappear off your record after so many years. But if an employer demands your health records and they find out that you have been unwell, you are practically screwed. A mental health diagnosis Is akin to a life sentence . I know many prisoners have mental health problems too but for people who have just been in hospital and were only a danger to themselves it's not fair.
I know times are changing. But I guess the stigma Is like racism or homophobia and we claim to have come a long way but we have barely scratched the surface.
That's my rant over and please give your view and correct me. I am British. I know that it's not the same everywhere.
