Thanks for your comments. Money is obviously important, as is commitment from the government, but yes the stigma associated with mental health issues is difficult to overcome. Why is it that we can tell a friend we have cancer and have been to see the doctor, but we rarely tell our friends that we are suffering from depression and have been to see a counsellor. I am from Australia and I can tell you it does not happen here.
