I have now written a number of plain language summaries for the reviews in the Cochrane Collaboration. Every time I read a new review I think ‘oh, good this will contain the answers to all my questions on a specific subject’. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that.
I’ve written a review about one of the newer medications – aripiprazole or Abilify. The company that make it claim that it is a ‘third generation’ antipsychotic and acts on the brain in a different way to either the first or second generation ones.

News on mental health in the workplace:
Today NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) releases new public guidance on mental wellbeing in the workplace, urging line managers to identify mental health issues early and provide appropriate support.
Rethink has also produced guides for line managers because many ...lack confidence in talking about these issues with staff.
Read more by downloading this guide for free: http://www.mentalhealthshop.org/products
This has been produced specifically for local authorities, but there is useful information for all line managers. If you would like your organisation to commission Rethink to create a guide specific for where you work, please let us know.Read more

We can work it out: a local authority line manager’s guide to reasonable adjustments for mental illness
Wow. What a minefield of a first topic! But, that’s where it all starts, so it seems appropriate. If a struggle with bipolar is a life-long journey, then the diagnosis is the birth of a monster.

Challenge stigma with just one click!
Want to end mental health discrimination? So do we.
90% of people who have experienced mental illness, have also faced stigma. This can seriously affect the health, welfare and quality of life of people with mental health problems.
That's why Rethink and Mind are running a four year ...anti-discrimination campaign 'Time to Change' which works with people around the country to challenge this stigma. We have created a huge visual pledge which aims to be the biggest show of support for an end to mental health discrimination.
Help us end discrimination with just one click. Email your MP with our pre-written letter and ask them to add their face to Time to Change's visual pledge (http://digg.com/u1FJzY). It already has the support of over 2,100 people and we need politicians to play their part and use their influence to eradicate stigma once and for all.
Thank you.

ab I never mention my schizophrenia to just anyone. It is something I save for people I want to go away. Mental illness, especially serious mental illness, does not bring out the empathy in people. Partly that's media mis-representation and partly it is the use of meaningless labels that should be abandoned because of their social impact. I have a integrative disorder not a split mind.
Russell Ward I need some were that people will empathise with me,I've been searching in the wrong place's,now i hope i've found the right place i have bi-polar & "normal" social site's seem to be full of ignorant people who only know what they read in the media,If this is'nt the place then what is?.
Russell Ward I need someone to communicate with,ive tried pen friend site's,But just when you think you've made a friend & given your trust away telling them of your illness(bi-polar)they alway's say "i understand"& you never hear from them again!.
