Mental Health

There are many different conditions recognized as mental illness and it requires the collaboration of all parties involved across the board for the progress of treatment and care within the mental health system for the good of every sufferer, and those who care for them. These days stress levels are very high due to the many problems people have to face; it is not surprising that numbers will increase. Mental illness is not something that shows physically but which is suffered within and not always noticed by those they come into daily contact with, neither is the burden which is placed on the loving partner or carer whose health is also at risk, neither must be overlooked, will the government please note, I wonder! And will those who are fortunate enough not to have experienced this realise that one in four will experience mental illness during their lifetime, it is important for families, neighbours, and society to have and show compassion and help, I am sure there are many who will identify with this video

Early Diagnosis for People over the Age of 65yrs in UK

In two years time it is hoped that all people in the UK will be diagnosed for the symptoms of dementia. Considering there is a tremendous increase of people in the future expected to be suffering from dementia I wonder where the increased number of carers needed to care for these people are going to come from. Those who are elderly and caring for loved ones at home may then have dementia themselves that is if they are not already suffering serious illness due to stress which is now happening. Families are already under strain are all these new carers who are going to be needed and are also untrained be expected to train as unpaid carers and continually be expected to do this out of emotional blackmail for a pittance and very little help, or none as is happening now, is it not sensible to put the needs of carers before an explosion of patients suffering from dementia occurs, without the numbers of carers needed and sensible help provided there is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Already Britain has just one Carer per 100 pensioners the lowest figure anywhere in the developed world, and what ever reforms are made to social care funding, the elderly could still be left with bills running into thousands.

There should be no need for the government to make the most vulnerable in society suffer when there are other ways to cut costs which are evident by the many flagrant ways those who do not deserve the help and whose needs are less have help heaped upon them, and the many cost cutting ideas that have been suggested and publicized in the press which have not been taken any notice of.

Please read these facts of cruelty

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2009613/Care-No-just-casual-cruelty-How-State-betrays-truly-deserve-compassion.html

It is wonderful that there are facilities now being provided for respite breaks; keep fit and social activities for the elderly but the opportunities and help to take advantage of these facilities are still unavailable to many thousands who need them because of lack of help for them to do so, and the future looks extremely bleak for the elderly and their families unless action is taken for fairness for those who do deserve it now.

Carer Pensioners are Taken Advantage of

There are now 1.2 million carers over the age of 65yrs, up 15 percent in a decade. These devoted people are taking care of relatives and partners at home who are increasingly living into their 80s and 90s. The total number of these carers is now 6.4 million, this at a time when councils in the UK are slashing vital home help services across the country. The time devoted by family members to caring for aging relatives saves the state £119 Billion each year, out stripping the £99 Billion annual bill for the NHS.
The subsidy amounts to £2.3 Billion a week or £326 million a day, also other pensioners who are not involved in the day to day care of elderly relatives have the financial burden of residential care. Every day more and more elderly people have to sell their homes to pay disgracefully hefty costs or rely on relatives using up precious savings.
Has it occurred to the government that with 11million people alive today in the UK expected to live to 100 that the army of grey carers will have nothing left for their own care that is if they have not died first due to the diabolical stress and their own ill health?.

It is time that the government and society recognised this contribution and gave families the help and support they need. This has been said time and time again only to be put on the back burner by the government, and as yet but very soon to be realised by those in society who think it does not concern them, it should concern everyone young and old. The government must act in urgency and decide how to fund social care now and realise the physical, emotional and financial pressures are all the more intense on carers 65yrs and older.
