DR MAX PEMBERTON: Even I now believe that talking about mental health has gone too far. We 危険 labelling everyday feelings as 異常な

After 10年間s of mental illness 存在 shrouded in secrecy and shame, ignored, ridiculed or 恐れるd, there has been something of a 革命 in the past couple of years.

Now we have gone やめる the other way. Mental health makes the news almost every day, with not a week going past without some celebrity '明らかにするing all' and admitting to having, or having had, a mental health problem.

There are literally hundreds of podcasts, hashtags and Facebook pages 充てるd to the discussion of it all.

This, we are unequivocally told, is A Good Thing. It must be, 権利? After all, we know the silence that used to surround poor mental health 構内/化合物d people's 苦しめる and feelings of 孤立/分離.

Talking more 率直に about mental illness helps to 取り組む stigma and ignorance, challenges prejudices and misconceptions, and demystifies a group of 条件s that have 歴史的に been met with 疑惑 and 恐れる.

The epidemic of mental health problems has resulted in people giving up work, with the number of economically inactive rising by 700,000 since the pandemic

The 疫病/流行性の of mental health problems has resulted in people giving up work, with the number of economically inactive rising by 700,000 since the pandemic

Yet speaking recently, the Work and 年金s 長官, Mel Stride, dared to question this new orthodoxy. Our approach to mental health has gone 'too far' in the other direction, he said, with a 'real 危険 that we are now labelling the normal ups and 負かす/撃墜するs of human life as 医療の 条件s'. I have to agree.?

Suddenly mental health is in vogue. For someone like me, who 作品 in this area, the sea change has been やめる startling. For years people would pull a 直面する and ask why I'd gone into this area of 薬/医学.

I remember one of my professors at 医療の school looking at me with a mixture of bewilderment and horror when I explained to him at my 卒業 儀式 that I ーするつもりであるd to specialise in psychiatry.

'You've done so 井戸/弁護士席, why on earth would you want to do that?', he said, the 関わりあい/含蓄 存在 that mental health was only an area you went into if you had no other choice. No one in his or her 権利 mind would 現実に want to work in it.

Yet suddenly I am 流行の/上流の, and in 需要・要求する in other areas of 薬/医学. I've been asked to talk to dermatologists, endocrinologists and rheumatologists about mental health at their 年次の 会議/協議会s. Once 解任するd as the Cinderella of 薬/医学, now doctors of all 肉親,親類d want to learn about it.

You would think that we psychiatrists would welcome this. The more (選挙などの)運動をするs and 認識/意識性-raising the better, surely? But, 式のs, it's not that simple.

I know how disingenuous it sounds for a doctor like me, who has spent years 令状ing about and (選挙などの)運動をするing for better understanding around mental illness, to suddenly 成し遂げる such a volte 直面する and say, 現実に, can we please all stop for a moment. But that's what I'm doing.

Put bluntly, the rise in public understanding around mental health problems has been a 二塁打-辛勝する/優位d sword. We are inundated with referrals. More and more people are self-診断するing.

The 疫病/流行性の of mental health problems has resulted in people giving up work, with the number of economically inactive rising by 700,000 since the pandemic. ますます, we've seen normal emotional problems and difficulties ? 必然的な parts of life ? portrayed as some form of disorder or illness.?

And the fact is, thanks to the 抱擁する number of people who now believe they have a mental health problem, services are 緊張するing under the 圧力.

My 関心 is that while on the one 手渡す it's good to get people talking about how they feel and to challenge the タブー that surrounds mental illness, in reality it 危険s wrongly labelling everyday feelings as 異常な.

I'm far from alone in 存在 用心深い about the fallout from this sudden 殺到する in 利益/興味 in mental health. Sir Professor Simon Wessely, former 大統領,/社長 of the 王室の College of Psychiatrists, has said 'every time we have a mental health (選挙などの)運動をする, my heart 沈むs'. This was met with bewilderment by those outside the profession, but to those on frontline, it resonated hugely.

The 大多数 of people having a difficult time aren 't mentally ill. They're just experiencing life. The idea that good mental health means we never 苦しむ any emotional 苦しめる at all creates the unrealistic 期待 that life should be a bed of roses all the time. And of course it's not. Life can be difficult, 失望させるing, disappointing, scary and uncertain.

It's normal to feel 圧倒するd, lost and upset いつかs.

We should be talking about the realities of life and making sure people have the 道具s to 会合,会う them with resilience, not making them think there is something wrong when there isn't.

Many people will sympathise with the awful 負債 Kate Garraway ran up caring for her husband Derek Draper, who died last year after a long 戦う/戦い with Covid. She 明らかにする/漏らすd in a TV 文書の that it could be as much as £800,000.

The truth is such a 財政上の 大災害 could happen to any of us. One minute we are 罰金, and all is 井戸/弁護士席 with our family, then suddenly nature takes a cruel turn and we find ourselves 直面するing 天文学の 料金s to 供給する our loved ones with the care they need.

A friend's father who is in his 90s but 全く 独立した・無所属 and living alone recently took a 宙返り/暴落する. He 傷つける his 脚 and ended up needing a 肌 汚職,収賄. It became 感染させるd. Then he developed 肺炎. His mobility 拒絶する/低下するd and within the space of a few weeks this man, who had never needed any help, was suddenly reliant on carers three times a day.?

The NHS would only 供給する 限られた/立憲的な physiotherapy, and yet the doctors advised he should be having it daily or 危険 becoming bed-bound, so a 私的な physio had to be 雇うd.

My friend phoned me for advice, and was 荒廃させるd at the 財政上の 関わりあい/含蓄s of caring for his father. The family have pooled together all their spare money and 貯金. His daughter even 申し込む/申し出d to 延期する going to university so she could work and を引き渡す the money. 'You just don't think about it until it happens to you,' he said.

He wasn't arguing that the 明言する/公表する should step in, やむを得ず ? just that no one thinks it will 影響する/感情 them until it does. I think we are 速く approaching a time when people should be advised to take out some form of 保険 to 供給する 安全 should they 結局最後にはーなる needing care. The 代案/選択肢 is to 直面する dreadful 法案s you or your loved ones struggle to 支払う/賃金.

There has been a 広大な/多数の/重要な outpouring of sympathy and good will に向かって the Princess of W ales in the weeks since she told the world she had 癌. But there has also been another public 返答 that might result in lives 存在 saved.

Data shows her 勇敢に立ち向かう 告示 led to a 抱擁する rise in the number of people 接近ing (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) on 癌 online. Visits to the NHS 癌 page rose nearly five-倍の, while 癌 UK and Macmillan also 報告(する)/憶測d a 殺到する. One person every three seconds looked at the 癌 symptoms page in the three hours after the Princess of むちの跡s's message.

We've seen this sort of thing before. にもかかわらず all the public health (選挙などの)運動をするs 関心ing HIV 伝達/伝染, the largest ever 頂点(に達する) in requests for HIV 実験(する)ing in the UK was 観察するd in January 1991 when the EastEnders character 示す Fowler was 診断するd HIV-肯定的な.

When someone that the public feels they know ? either fictional or real ? is seen to 苦しむ a 医療の 条件, many more people talk about it with their friends and families, and in some 事例/患者s 現在の to their doctors because they are worried for themselves.?

In the 事例/患者 of 癌, people with niggling symptoms they don't やむを得ず want to bother the doctor about come 今後 and a 割合 of these will catch the 病気 earlier than they would さもなければ. It is a much-高く評価する/(相場などが)上がるd 味方する 影響 of the Princess's さもなければ difficult news.

'ワイン mums' who drink a glass of ワイン a day are more likely to get heart 病気, によれば a new 熟考する/考慮する. To me this is just one more example of the dangers of alcohol and the way that society underestimates the 危険.?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a kill-joy. Have a glass of ワイン now and then. What worries me is the 増加する in women who have normalised daily drinking and don't realise the 影響 this can have on their health.

Kate's caring 負債?

Many people will sympathise with the awful 負債 Kate Garraway ran up caring for her husband Derek Draper, who died 早期に this year after a long 戦う/戦い with Covid. She 明らかにする/漏らすd it could be as much as £800,000.
