Hi there ladies, I hope that you are all well today and I hope that you all got a chance to read my 2 previous articles on the A-typical signs and symptoms of women's heart issues over the last few days and had a chance to check out some of those links too.
So as some of you know, there is also a professional side to ChocolateScorpi on #peakd and that is me Chocolate Scorpion Productions. https://www.chocolatescorpion.com/impatient
And So just letting you know that this coming Saturday the 10th of October, is World Mental Health Day

And some of you may know that I have been making a documentary over the past 10 years, following around a gorgeous, strong, resilient, proactive and empowered woman by the name of Sue Armstrong, who is not only a sought after fine artist, filmmaker and peer advocate for females with mental health illnesses, Sue is also a mental health consumer herself and has spent just as many decades campaigning for the policy makers to re-instate female only wards here in Australia as she has spent as an impatient in those mixed sex wards.
This is Sue and I back in 2012 talking about the boxes of reports and other paraphernalia on the mental health system, that she has collected throughout the decades.
So as I have been making the documentary following her around as she interviews people to garner support for the campaign, I have also built her a website which we will be launching soon and I was hoping that you could tell me about the state of your mental health systems in your own countries so we can share that information on the website too.
This is the brand new 5:30 minute teaser for the documentary that I just uploaded onto #3speak last week.

I know that many South East Asian countries just naturally have female only wards.
I know that some countries don't even think that mental health illnesses exist and if they do, the person is either locked up for life in their family basement or shipped off to mysterious, isolated institutions that no-one is ever told about, or heard of and so the patient is locked up for good and is never able to have visitors or see their families again.
And I know that some countries also consider mental health illnesses to be a 'western disease'.

So what does your country do with your residents who have mental health illnesses and need to go into hospital care?
Do you know if your hospitals have female only wards or mixed sex wards?
And do you know if there is a high incidence of assault in these hospitals and other mental health services?
I would love to have your stories, comments and thoughts and am more than happy to share them for you anonymously if you like.
