I really appreciate that eating disorders were brought up. It really is not a “minor mental illness” and it needs to be talked about.

[ladiedeenie]

I am sorry but where is this money?!!! I have waited 4 years for a ptsd diagnosis to only receive 24 sessions for cbt therapy… the only thing that seems to exist for ALL mental health conditions in the UK 🙄🤨. When I experienced trauma 4 yrs back, I was given a “COUNSELLOR”!!! And “therapists” who clearly weren’t qualified for the job and this I know because the therapy they gave- Did nothing but add hot oil on an injury.

Now I say all of this to say… where is all of this money they are soo keen on talking about?! Because that money isn’t reaching the people who need help.

Can’t understand where that budget for mental health support is going because it is terrible, there is no help. Youre just thrown pills at and told you cant access free therapy if you have a more serious condition like BPD.

[sickpup]

Platforming Nadine Dorries is enough to drive anybody insane.

[ScepticalBrit]

Nadine Dorries Lady Barking might not be the best person to speak on this issue, and in true form Nick Ferrari the government mouth piece in full action 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[anastasia]

I agree that some people do claim to not be able to work for very minor issues. You know some people say they're sad a couple times a week and say they have depression but this is a minority. As someone with extremely complex mental health needs I've not been able to work. BPD is extremely stigmatised among employers too which makes it hard to get a job in the first place let alone hold it down. I would love to work but I need the support that just isn't there so I have no idea where this 'invested money' has gone to. I have always said that even if the NHS magically got extra funding, the mental health sector would not see any of it

[Loes-kkzn]

I understand it's nice for the show to have opposing views, but please: Nadine Dories? She is so far removed from reality, you can't take her serious. Calling an eating disorder a minor mental health problem. She should have been carried off set.

[tubeWyrme]

You're giving a platform to Nadine Dorries and this is damaging my mental health

[whythoidk]

I feel like the problem is that certain mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ocd and eating disorders can feel easier to reach out for help around. Whereas other conditions such as pmdd, psychosis, schizophrenia and personality disorders tend to feel much "scarier" when it comes to asking for help. I know when im in the thick of a pmdd episode the way my mh is during and before my period feels very "embarrassing" and almost shameful

[wjqzjnb]

My mental health took a massive downturn due to my old employer Jaguar Land Rover. One unreasonable overload after another broke me.
On my abs review I was told to get well cuz your workload would be increasing. This company just give lip service to mental Health. Somebody needs to step in with companies like this

[bahmanzare]

NIKE FERARI WHICH TOY STORE DID YOU BUY THESE GLASSES FROM? 🤔😁I LOVE IT

[samuelstevens]

Why on earth is Nadine getting air time

[AFoolsJourney]

Mental illness is incredibly real and I empathise and support those that genuinely suffer. However mental health has almost become ‘trendy’ among younger generations and SOME, not all use this to their advantage. Example - taking mental health days from school, college and employment.

You see it all over social media everybody and their granny has a mental illness these days. In my opinion it is taking away real concern from genuine people that truly are suffering from mental illness. Not everybody will agree with my viewpoint but if you look closely you will see mental illness and ‘mental health’ is nowadays extremely manipulative.

Nadine Dorries is now a pundit on This Morning, now I've seen it all Sad, so sad, Oh my god, I'm quoting Donald Trump. 😢

[beewa]

2 years is a very long time, Nadine? That makes you an expert? Any lived experience?

[TSDX]

That man with the tiny round glasses looks ridiculous and hilarious.🤣

[URFUTUREUK]

The number grew in the pandemic because there was a pandemic 🤦🏻‍♀️ which is it were people sick and had to stay home or not?!

[Paul_W_Tudor]

Love the fact that Dorries and Ferrari have faces like thunder when presented with actual facts on this issue.

[markj]

Almost everybody now are going around saying that they are mentally ill and playing the mental health card because its become an attention seeking trend and its terrible for the people out there who genuinely do have serious mental health problems who dont have any help and get looked at like they have six heads because the system is clogged up with attention seeking tiktokers.
