"I’m a psychologist – and I believe we’ve been told devastating lies about mental health | Sanah Ahsan" - The most honest article on Mental Health I have read.

To the Editor,
Sanah Ahsan's article in The Guardian, 6th September, is the most honest article on this matter - mental health - I have ever read in any News Paper in the UK.
"I’m a psychologist – and I believe we’ve been told devastating lies about mental health | Sanah Ahsan"
"Society’s understanding of mental health issues locates the problem inside the person – and ignores the politics of their distress"
The psychology of any given family, community or society is revealed and perpetuated in how that family, community or society relates to and treats the children and the most vulnerable people within it.
"Given the kind of family, community or society you were born into, and everything you have experienced and endured, it's no wonder you feel the way you do."

I have been using this aphorism for 30 years. Because it is accurate.
The psychology of this Industrial Wealth Extraction culture, addicted to Fossil Fuels and Dominant Power, is key to examining the current situation regards mental health.
Wealth Extraction that evades the costs of preventing harm via Externalising Costs, and uses accumulated Wealth as a political utility to maintain Wealth Extraction above all other 'needs' indicates what that psychology is.

Climate Disruption is one symptom, among many. Poverty, Racism, Misogyny, Wealth inequity are others. Ordinary people everywhere suffer through no fault of our own.

I look forward to reading more honest writing about this dynamic, in every News Paper and elsewhere, to understand how this situation impacts our children and our most vulnerable fellow citizens. 
We really need to be honest as a culture, as political actors, as people and as a species, to be in a position to act healthfully on the matter of mental health across our Society.
Kindest Regards
