The new TV Drama "Crash" is a good example of Media attitudes. The schizophrenic man killed the young doctor in an unprovoked attack! Just more ignorance on the part of the BBC. This campaign is really needed. It needs more focus though. Did they plan where to go with this movie or afterwards I wonder? How did you expect it to go viral? Did you do all the things people normally do to cause that to happen? I suspect it seemed like a good idea bit there seems to have been no long term plan.
In 2000 I suggested in my contribution to the book 'Mad Pride: A Celebration of Mad Culture" that 'social inclusion' is not a way forward for survivors of the mental health system and I maintain this viewpoint. For some of us the road to healing lies in actively embracing stigma, embracing outsiderdom and setting ourselves in opposition to a society much sicker than most of us schizos. I was very glad to see critical comments on this campaign's videos. All Power to the Patients' Councils!
It is Time To Change. But my problem is although I agree with its princepals. I have suffered more discrimination and stigma from The CMHT than society as a whole. And ignorance to my illness. I also have a problem with MIND in my case who are involved with this campaign. BUT then thats what make it more true and needed.
The videos were a mistake. I never supported them and like everyone else they were sprung on me unannounced on Sunday midnight. I have made my feelings known that service users were left out nof the loop. We could have told them a much better use fr the money than this!
The people I work with and worked with in MH were definitely not middle class. The discrimination they face is dreadful. Do you really believe the public likes us when you see what apprears in the paper when the system lets a service user down? It is that fear of us that prompts them to push for laws to lock us up!
I have not been to Israel for a while. You know nothing about my present mental state either. People are important to me. that's why I care about the discrimination they suffer. You need to get out there and see it for yourself. As for evidence, there is plenty where my faith is concerned. Now that really is something that would be more relevant in another forum!
I dont need to get ' out there ' and do anything I'm already in there taking legal action against a state body for disability discrimination .
look objectively at where we are with this project , we've strayed from the concept of 'user led' to a place where wealthy and compromised charity business executives in London agree campaigns with Govt officials and funders on our behalf and appoint a panel of psychiatrists to evaluate and validate them.
