    Well done Mickey.

    “But it goes back to the fact that you can physically see a broken leg or whatever and you can treat that properly. But you can’t ‘see’ mental health so it’s not given the same focus as a physical injury and that’s where the education comes in.”

    So true, I know that for a fact in my own case, unless you knew me intimately, you'd never know I had a mental health diagnosis!
