Hi Greg, Matt here from NZ. Mental Health has now been regarded as a Public Health issue worldwide. Do you believe this negates Privacy or Doctor/Patient Confidentiality in our world today???
Just asking because I am living with a family member who has Schizophrenia, but the medications my family member has been on (Olanzipine) has made life worse down the track, and neither the manager or the GP at our local medical centre here in NZ, don't want to really care why my family member and his life have gotten worse as the years have gone by, and giving no accountability why this is.
I believe as a rule of thumb, MENTAL HEALTH belongs to ALL peoples worldwide, and affects probably more people more than ever in our fallen society today.
Matt
Great video!
