Mental health and the weather

Melbourne has just experienced one of the strongest thunderstorms in the past few decades with hail, rain and wind pounding the streets  and people.

Often storms outside are reflected with storms inside and I have been hearing a lot about that lately.

"One in five Australians are likely to experience some kind of mental health issue during their lifetime. Mental health issues can affect anyone - old or young, rich or poor." says Youth Central one of many mental health institutions in Melbourne.

One of the strongest supporters of mental storm prevention is Prof McGorry who just became the Australian of the Year. He says: "Failure to invest in early psychosis reform will result in another lost generation of young Australians consigned to unnecessary disability as well as premature death from suicide and cardiovascular disease"

Here is his book . I really do think that we have to rethink how we address mental health otherwise we end up having stroms in our heads all the time.
