To mark World Mental Health Day today, here are five ways Frank Bruno (Former world boxing champion) believes we can all improve our own mental health – and the treatment of others. 1) “Give the subject of mental health the importance that has been overlooked, ignored or swept under the carpet in the past.” 2) “Actually give Mental Health the financial backing and priority importance from all political parties without just getting lost or absorbed under the umbrella and big banner of ‘Health’.” 3) “Radically overhaul the ‘red taped’ current Mental Health laws and guidelines that are clearly out of touch with sufferers and carers (not necessarily blood family) of sufferers.” 4) “Remind the decision makers and purse holders that if it was your loved one who had mental health issues, you would do everything in your power and more to help them.” 5) “Although we all feel sorry for whats going on around the world, how about instead of sending millions of pounds and equipment in ‘aid’ to countries abroad, that money was spent in the United Kingdom where it is desperately needed. Once we have got our own Health service completely funded then we can look abroad at helping others with the spare cash.” independent.co.uk/news/people/world-mental-health-day-five-ways-we-could-improve-our-mental-health-today-by-former-heavyweight-champion-frank-bruno-9787800.html
