Mental Health Act 1983 overhaul

Great to see this in the news today and its not before time that this system gets an overhaul. I spoke to Professor Simon Wessely, who's review of the outdated 1983 Mental Health Act forms the basis of the proposals in the White Paper, back in 2008 when I was suffering with severe depression and remember him as a thoughtful, compassionate, reassuring and insightful person who offered me real hope and support. I am sure that his proposals will move us in a really positive and much needed direction.
