Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?
Dear UK government, Let's be clear: our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won’t help. You claim mental health is being “overdiagnosed”, but where’s the evidence? The reality is that our environment affects our wellbeing - pandemics, the cost of living crisis, political unrest and ongoing concerns around climate change are all taking their toll. But when people seek help, they face months, or even years, of waiting. Rhetoric like this is dangerous. It reinforces stigma and stops people getting support. If you’re serious about change, listen to those affected. We can turn this crisis around - but only if the government works with us, not against us. We look forward to hearing from you, Mind

NEW: In November, I wrote a Guardian column headlined 'How to Survive the Broligarchy'. Pretty much everything predicted has now come true. What I'm launching today is part handbook, how to protect ourselves? And part manifesto, how to fight back? Please join me.

How to Survive the Broligarchy
Three months ago, I warned we were entering the age of technoauthoritarianism. It's now here. We can and must fight back.

HAPPY COMMA DAY

Today is when we celebrate good-hearted discussion about where the comma should go in God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen - and why.

And is it exhortation or injunction or what?

And what about the you/ye distinction?
