Petition updateStop the waste of expensive prescription medicinesThis waste is doing my head in!

Quite correctly, and not before time, there has been a campaign to raise awareness of mental health issues. Princes William and Harry have spoken very candidly about their own struggles. I believe one of the most insidious problems with a deterioration of mental health is that the person affected does not realise there is a problem until it is perhaps quite advanced. Hopefully these campaigns will help people to recognise their symptoms and seek help early. However such campaigns must be supported by the resources to treat sufferers. I am aware there is a lengthy waiting time before an appointment with a Counsellor can be obtained. Not good for someone who has been suffering and has finally worked up the courage to ask for help. Again another reason to avoid wasteful disposal of perfectly good medication and channel some of the funds saved towards mental health services? Comments please.
