Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the UK, while not as prominent as other major parties, generally supports policies that aim to improve the welfare of its citizens, including healthcare. Their focus on pragmatic and centrist policies suggests they would likely support increased funding for mental health research and treatment, recognizing the importance of addressing mental health issues. However, their specific policy positions on this issue might not be as aggressive as those of more left-leaning parties.

Agree

Yes, but only increase funding for personalised care instead of subsidising pharmaceutical companies

The SDP might support an increase in funding for personalized care as part of a broader approach to improving mental health services, reflecting their focus on tailored and high-quality public services. However, their support might be more moderate compared to a blanket increase in funding, as they would likely weigh the benefits of personalized care against the overall needs of the mental health system and potential dependency on pharmaceutical companies.

Disagree

No, incentivise private companies to address this issue instead

While the SDP supports a mixed economy and might be open to private sector involvement in certain areas, their core philosophy of providing comprehensive public services suggests they would be less inclined to rely solely on private companies to address mental health issues. They would likely prefer a model where the government plays a significant role in funding and ensuring the provision of mental health services.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SDP's centrist and social welfare-oriented approach, it is unlikely that they would oppose increased funding for mental health research and treatment. Their political stance generally favors improving public services, including healthcare, which would logically extend to mental health services.
