Hi Med

>Are people in the UK terrified of the "unwell" all of a sudden?

I do think that fear of violence has something to do with it. The new laws do seem to be aimed at increasing control of people with mental health problems.

Here is some info from Rethink (formerly the National Schizophrenia Fellowship). You will find it interesting........

Personally, I am particularly concerned that many people (living in the community) will be forced to take antipsychotics against their will.
