O/T why are there so many mad people about?

It's Rotherham town centre you're talking about. Given that most people of sound mind are disposed to give it a wide berth, it's perhaps not surprising that a good proportion of those left appear to have issues.

An enterprising film maker could make a zombie movie without having to hire any actors.

The smokers outside the Angel and the County, I saw last time I strayed into the area, would open up myriad opportunities for any film maker with a keen eye on the budget.

Just walk through our town centre and see. Go any day of the week and i guarantee you will either see: someone with mental health issues pinned to the ground by the Police or another person walking through the streets shouting at the top of his voice to no-one in particular.

I can't help think there is a political explanation for the rising numbers of mad people.

IBS, just been thinking, with all your pseudonyms did you count yourself into all these mad people? Just a thought....;D

So on the weekend that there are thoughts for fans with mental issues, IBS decides that anyone with issues are "mad". Have you thought about it?

There is a link between drugs and mental illness.

Drugs, often "harmless" cannabis, and alcohol can trigger psychotic episodes.

No it has never closed down Brin just over time a lack of funding and new ways of treating people who are mentally ill has just seen a year on year decrease. I'm not aware of any safeguarding issues at the hospItalian I'm talking about.

I work with Children and some really desperately ill kids are having to stay in the family home. Kids with things like Catatonia which needs lots of skilled people involved to help these kids. I meet families all the time who are in total crisis and just cannot get the help or their kids end up in some really nother nice or suitable places. I could tell you some horrible stories, it's really sad.

No idea what's going on with my spell checker ffs.

You are doing great stuff Riley inbdiffucult circumstances that is why the likes of IBS annoy me when he tries to trivialize these issues on here.
