Living with a mental illness can be hard.

The negative attitudes of others makes it harder.

That's why we're launching our new anti-stigma campaign, #LetsRethink.

⏰ One person is detained under the Mental Health Act every 10 minutes in England.

It's 40 years old and desperately needs to change. But today, government has dropped plans to reform it.

🚨 We are extremely disappointed that the government has failed to honour its commitment to reform the Mental Health Act.

We won't stop until this outdated act is changed to better support people who are detained under it 👉 https://t.co/nmKthwMUDF

💭 #Schizophrenia is too often stigmatised and misunderstood.

So it is great to hear real stories about people caring for their loved ones who live with the condition.

Those of us living with mental illness already struggle to get the care and support we need.

We can't afford more cuts to vital public services.

Yesterday, the Chancellor pledged to always be on the side of those who need help the most.

Today, the Prime Minister refuses to say she will increase benefits in line with inflation.

This is a huge concern for people living with mental illness 👇
