Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

abolish psychiatry and involuntary treatment. set up local community run clinics with counselling and peer support, and legalise all drugs including psych meds without prescription

All government owned industries should be privatised, for-profit corporations

The government should completely privatise the NHS

No, reroute the budget towards improving quality of life within the country to reduce the need for mental health services

Preventative measures such as increasing local services available to young people (activity clubs for example) and opportunities for communities to build a sense of belonging

Yes, but professionals that are identifying metal health conditions require stricter criteria and standards

There should be more effort in helping patients with concrete solutions rather than therapy. E.g. if someone experiences depression due to financial difficulty, they should be referred to a financial advisor rather than a talk-therapist who is frankly unhelpful.

Yes, but through university and public research institutes rather than through pharmaceutical companies.

Yes but only if it can be done in a way that it does not decrease the quality of physical healthcare

More funding should be to understand why so many people are mentally unwell

Once profit reaches certain level

Support Nuclear Family

No provide subsidies to private companies to address the issue instead

No this is a matter for the market unless if it is dealing with the effect via substances like drugs

No, government should do more to address the precipitating factors to mental Illness such as inequality in society providing a preventative approach.

No, as a society and as individuals we need to stop obsessing over mental health

Yes but increase private sector involvement and ensure NHS support is for personal care only

Not at the expense of other sectors

No. Just ban TikTok

No in care mental health treatment and address them not criminal and answer enquiries decrease

No, we need to tackle the reasons why people are developing mental health on wide scales. Free gym and leisure memberships for people with depression and anxiety

people need to take responsabilty for their own misfortunes.

The general requirements for mental health are illunderstood, so more research is needed.

It needs to become mote efficient and actually be effective

No, they should address the problem of where the money is spent. If it was properly managed then there would be an improvement in services. However, more support is needed for juvenile services.

Government has no place in healthcare

Ideally, yes.

No we need to spend resources better. No privatisation.

We need more sense of community spaces and a sense of connection. Social ties are so important.

Yes if the NHS were to be kept. In an ideal world I'd make the whole system private.

Increase funding for mental health services whilst incentivising the private sector to conduct research into mental health disorders and pharmaceutical treatments

No, bad mental health is due to the influence of the devil and should be treated by an ordained Church of England priest

No, bad mental health is due to the Devil’s influence on the mind and should be treated by a priest and through prayer.

Happy with finding currently

I believe social-economic factors play a signficant role in mental health issues, and if we do not address those related issues first, we are treating the symptoms rather than the actual cause

Mental health is affected by the broken and atomised society. Treatment will do nothing without fixing that.

Yes, but I would rather make all health services publicly owned, rather than state of privately owned

Yes, but for who can't afford private solutions and only increase funding for personalised care instead of subsidising pharmaceutical companies

healthcare services suffer from bureaucratic stigma not lack of funding

It's fine how it is

No, just get people to talk to each other, adults are so stupid

Yes but not pharmaceuticals

No, but have dedicated services, not paramedics who should be treating immediate emergencies.

I am happy with the current funding, it’s the addressing the contributing factors that is the problem.

Yes, but not at the expense of other areas of research

Government needs to tackle the root causes, they currently are adding to the suidcide numbers because of they way they govern. Covid was an expensive disaster. Cost of living will fuel more mental health problems.

No, its a pseudoscience

Research but not treatment

mental health science and psychology is riddled with politics, opinions and a lack of provable science in many areas giving money to the wrong facility could be detrimental
