What the petition asks

1 in 4 people in the uk alone suffer with some form of mental health, from anxiety to psychosis. Having a family member suffer with mental health, I know how much it can impact on their life and their loved ones' but where is the support for all of us? The care system is shocking.
Having visited numerous hospitals with in the past year, I have witnessed a big lack of care and support to the patients and their families. No inside activities to help stimulate their minds.
No supportive conversations to put them at ease.
If the patients get upset, they just get sedated so they do not have to deal with them.
Being released before they are even stable, just so they can have the beds. My list and everybody else's is endless.
