BIG FIGHT TO CURE MENTAL ILLNESS


jyjENTAL illness now costs the National Health Service more than £140 million a year, about one eighth of the total cost.


The total of working days lost through mental illness in 1963-64 were over 32 million, at a cost to the insurance funds of a fur­ ther £21 million. For every employed female just over two work­ ing days arc lost and for every male just over one working day is lost each year because of mental illness. These facts are given in the latest office of Health Economics report just issued.

He says; ‘There have been, for in­ stance. the great discoveries of physical treatments, which, while not always curing, have merci­ fully alleviated the suffering of thousands of people. I am think­ ing especially of electro-convul­ sive therapy, and of the newly discovered tranquillising and an­ tidepressant- drugs which have enabled us to control the extremes of irrational behaviour —leading io violence or com­ plete incapacity—and have thus made it possible for psychiatric patients to be treated without the humiliations and affronts to human dignity involved in physi­ cal methods of restraint.
