Yes you are right
Mental illness is not a "cry for help" of course but there is a small percentage of people that fall into that category of mentally ill that do self-harm and/or attempt suicide to get the help they need. I am amazed that someone who has tried nine times has also failed nine times and that tells me that this woman did not want to die but wanted help.
The NHS unfortunately are overwhelmed and managed by people who care more about freeing up beds and balancing the books than care for people who need the help. From the minister through to the management tiers. Then we reach the front line who work under horrendous conditions with bad pay and the conclusion that no-one appreciates them above the junior management level.
What the NHS needs is not money but a complete overhaul but this won't happen because those that would be in the position to do this would lose their own jobs in the process.
