Hi Mark — a very impassioned piece which I hope will help change social perspectives on mental health. I agree that if society were different we wouldn’t have as many mental health casualties as we do. Where I feel less than comfortable is in the identification of an enemy as a means of gathering support. Can those with mental health issues not achieve the same ends by emulating the techniques of Martin Luther King or Mahatma Ghandi or Nelson Mandela? Some of your imagery was stunning, by the way.
