Through tort law, individuals and organisations, councils included, can be sued for damages provided there’s evidence of negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Compensation is available and varies depending on the severity of harm and supporting evidence.
Mental health care must prioritise dignity, autonomy, and the least invasive treatment methods available. With modern therapies, supportive communities, and ongoing innovation in psychiatric medicine, society has both the opportunity and the responsibility to move away from treatments that compromise safety and human rights.
Antidepressant use has soared over the past two decades, with the UK alone seeing a doubling in prescriptions since 2008. While medication can be life-changing for some, concerns are growing around its overprescription, especially for patients who may not need long-term pharmacological treatment. From the reluctance of GPs to offer fast-acting relief to the alarming trend of children being medicated, it’s time to ask, are we medicating emotion at the expense of wellbeing?
Trauma is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it heals. For others, it becomes their lifelong companion. It’s not about being weak, it’s about having seen and felt too much. It’s about carrying a weight that no one else can see.
Though trauma may never fully disappear, it can transform into strength. By understanding its roots, recognising how it impacts the mind and body, and gently working toward recovery, survivors can reclaim their lives. The editor is a testament to this. Through her pain, she has cultivated purpose, using her lived experience to educate, support, and inspire others who feel lost in the shadows of trauma and mental illness. Her message is clear: you are not alone.
Before you type, think twice—behind every article is a human trying their best. Negative comments have consequences, especially for those already battling mental health challenges.
Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event—or series of events—that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It’s not just about what happened, but how it made you feel: unsafe, powerless, or deeply shaken. Trauma can stem from a one-time incident like an accident or loss, or from long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or living in constant fear.
When a system structurally excludes, misjudges, or punishes people with fluctuating disabilities, it is not just morally unjust — it may also be legally non-compliant. Disabled individuals and advocacy groups have a strong basis to argue that the PIP framework, as currently implemented, fails to meet legal standards of fairness, equality, and dignity.
While neurostimulation holds promise as a treatment for depression, it’s essential to approach the idea of “bio-hacking” with caution. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects and ideal usage of these methods. If you or someone you know is considering neurostimulation, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Depression doesn’t happen without cause. It’s not a weakness or a choice — it is a reaction to pain, pressure, and often unimaginable hardships. Understanding the many reasons why someone may be suffering is the first step toward compassion, not judgment. Whether the cause is trauma, genetics, loss, or societal pressures, every person fighting depression deserves understanding, support, and the knowledge that their pain is real — and that healing is possible. Everyone’s journey is different, but no one should have to walk it alone.
