In November last year I attended this one day conference organised by PCCS Books in Nottingham. Two of the keynote speakers – Lucy Johnstone and Sami Timimi – had previously travelled to Powys to speak at a conference organised by our team in March 2014 - Finding Meaning in Psychosis: Early Intervention Services . This conference had highlighted the debate that challenges the validity of ‘mental illness’ diagnosis and raised questions about whether the idea of ‘mental illness’ is useful in driving innovation.

Happy New Year! Traditionally we start the New Year by recommending some of our favourite blogs. In the past we have covered mental health and also dementia . This year we’re looking at videos and vlogging. “A vlog (or video blog) is a blog that contains video content. The small, but growing, segment of the blogosphere devoted to vlogs is sometimes referred to as the vlogosphere.” There are a surprising number of people vlogging about mental health. Many of these are young people around the world who have grasped the opportunity that the video site YouTube provides to talk about their personal experiences online. Many report that they find it therapeutic to do this, and hope that their experiences will also help and support others who are struggling with mental health issues. A high proportion of these vloggers regard their distress as an illness and their experiences are very much phrased around the medical model relating to mental health. There are, however, some videos which take...
