Excellent response - and my next question would be what are you and the department of health and social care going to do about it???
Over-diagnosis is a foolish phrase. There are international standardised diagnostic criteria for MH conditions and people either meet them or not. A better question is why people's mental health is worse after 5 years of economic, political & societal turmoil.
