Just wondering, having been watching and reading some of Derek Summerfield's work over the weekend, has anyone else experienced being on multiple types of mental health medication and, for me at least, reflecting back on it and realising that pharmaceutical medication was never going to be the resolution?
Summerfield touches a lot of exporting of mental health globally, and this may be my issue (I didn't grow up in the UK with the societal norms of the UK) so I am wondering about the experience of others?
Should we (the UK) be offering other first line treatments rather than pharmaceuticals, and if you were, were these successful or did you / do you take medication as well?
If we change our society will the mental health we experience change as well?
