Content: Simon Wessely, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, welcomed the report, saying that more investment was needed in mental health services and research. “ There really is no other response.” he said. “ We need to step back and consider what social and cultural factors might be behind these trends. But with just one in three people with a mental illness receiving treatment, the need for mental health services is far outstripped by the demand.” Maureen Baker, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said that the figures were “hopefully indicative of reducing stigma associated with mental health in society and that more people with mental health conditions are seeking medical assistance. “As we continue to strive towards ensuring parity of esteem for patients with mental and physical health conditions, they could also indicate better identification and diagnosis of mental health conditions across healthcare.” References
