We perhaps would do better to teach people what normal looks like and learn how to support children without labeling them. Why can't we recognize that a child is struggling a bit in school and can do with learning differently without calling them neurodevelopmentally abnormal? So I think maybe we change the names. Support people without labels would be really useful.

Also, we've got no support systems outside of medical institutions. Where do people go who are suffering? A doctor is a place you can still go. Perhaps we need better support systems for people that are not surrounding medical institutions.

Therapy, or is that still to... I think that's still sort of medicalized. People just want to belong to a community. And the UK, the church isn't quite so prominent. It's slightly different in the US. In the UK, I'd say that system of being supported by your church has really been lost. But, you know, I'm not advocating for that idea.

Mental health problems, something like one in five people in the world now has a mental health diagnosis. And there is something definitely wrong there. Sometimes it can be frightening to be honest about what you think is going wrong.
