Without the support of an IMHA informal patients sometimes have no one to speak for them or help them be involved in their treatment and care plan. This is essential if they are to avoid relapse once they return to the community. Too many people are deprived of a voice. Failure to give all mental health patients a voice can leave them isolated & desperate, which can lead to their mental health deteriorating further.
