Through personal experience one discovers systemic prejudice in law and, in this case, the crippling of the integrity of a
branch of medicine (psychiatry) caused by law. The problem?
The Mental Health Act. The law underpins international market distortion. I knew nothing before 2004 of the nastiness of this
Act, despite having twice been a jury forwoman, having known people who have experienced bouts of mental illness and
being a journalist and Samaritan (Until 2001. I
called them four times for myself, mid 2004, short calls, and never since). The MHAct is an instrument of humiliation, civil
liberty abuse and invasion of privacy. It destroys lives, as it did mine. It undermines equality in the NHS. Issues of public importance arising.
