Today, with huge thanks to Ealing Hospital, we planted a tree - the UK’s only memorial to NHS staff who have died by suicide. May they rest in peace, and may we redouble our efforts to stop it happening ever in the future. 3/3
5 years ago I was in psychosis. I was sectioned in a psychiatric ward for nearly four years. Today, I am recovered. I write regularly for the guardian newspaper, about to graduate and am working on a book. Things do get better. Recovery is possible. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

@jtrebach@MurseWordsworth "People having a mental health crisis are triaged differently than examples above"
So why not include the MH triage categories in the examples above?
I wrote for the Guardian about how the NHS treats mental health patients, in particular my experience in inpatient psychiatric wards.
