in my experience most nhs mental health workers are idiots and thugs

trying to impose a way of life onto someone

the agenda isnt to make the patient well again. its to keep them out of society

you get the impression that the patients are there on the ward for the staff's

sake, keeping them in a job. its a vicious circle.

they deliberately keep the patient unwell to maintain their positions and enjoy acting like theyre superior keeping someone locked up 24/7

how they gonna get better? idiots

@HereWeGoAgain595 Over 90% of mentally ill people involved with services are in the community. Hospital admisiion costs money, community is cheaper. Also, people get better quickly at home. They are only admitted to hospital when they are unmanageable in the community. Most people in hospital are there of their own free will.

Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

Wow - congratulations on the most idiotic comment on YouTube. Care to attempt to explain that stupidity?

SaltyDaviss is right. It's even in the "Mental Deficiency Act" of 1913. I can think of horticultural projects all over including dozens in Lancashire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Many are aimed at people with mental health issues, It is quite wrong to say that the one in Essex is "unique". In my experience, people from down South are too fond of looking in their own area alone and not seeing what good things happen in the rest of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Isn't the idea of working the land for mental patients a very old idea?By that I mean a couple of hundred years old idea? The last hospital I was in had a run down farm that the patients used to run and i'm talking fifty years ago.
