The Issue
THE UK MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM NEEDS TO CHANGE.
Please read this all to understand more about this petition!!
My name is Sascha I'm 18 and i struggle with mental health issues I am also diagnosed with autism. I wanted to create this to hopefully make a change, mental health services in the UK are terrible. Young people and adults are being chucked to the side when they are struggling. Enough is enough. I've been admitted three times to a mental health hospital not once did they help me. There is currently no support for people with autism or emotional dysregulation, we get treated badly which causes more suicides. Staff are not trained to work with people with learning difficulties aswell as mental health problems, we get restrained when we are having a sensory overload. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.
Autistic people are more at risk of killing themselves compared to the normal person. People with personality disorders are more likely to kill themselves. We are seeing an increase in personality disorders and other mental health issues being diagnosed but having no support.
No one should have to go through what I have been through, being ignored, having no one to talk to, not getting therapy, not being listened to by healthcare professionals. PEOPLE ARE DYING BY SUICIDE. We need to work together and try to save people, and that starts by this petition. Hopefully we can get enough signatures to bring this to attention to the government, and hopefully they can listen to us as this is very important. I'm sure we all know at least one person suffering with mental health, think of them, think of how you could save them if this petition goes far. We can do this, no one has to suffer in silence.
It's time to act now, or else people will keep dying and suffering and feeling so alone in this world. No one should have to feel like that. We need the government to fund the NHS properly, we need donations, resources, facilities and staff. We need adult services, CAMHS, social services to get the help and funding otherwise the mental health crisis in the UK will rise and rise.
We need to save the next generation, and that starts now. With the help of all of you we can make a change.
