Imo, no. The NHS for starters needs a complete overhaul of the way its run. As in most big organisations now, too many chiefs and not enough Indians. As for social services, How many members of the public are actually walking around with voices in their heads telling them to kill folk?
Manic depression, depression and anxiety is a big difference from Schizophrenia .
Should we have one shrink for every member of the public? As i said, at the end of the day someone's parent and maybe grandparent, has been butchered by a lunatic, and all thoughts are with the killer. Should we feel sorry fir the likes of Hitler and Mugabe etc? They had massive mental problems ad well!
About 3 percent of the population have a psychotic illness , how many of them have voices telling them to kill people is impossible to work out but what we do know is people with schizophrenia are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators of crime

Hitler and Mugabe were probably psychopathic but not mentally ill with schizophrenia
