BBC News - Irish survey says lack of understanding of mental health issues
This is disgraceful and an indicator that Ireland is a hugely ignorant country. The prejudice is widespread, even consultants treat those with mental ill health or perceived 'mental heath' issues (particuarily women) as wasting their time. this causes real suffering and is a disgrace for this nation.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
