Mental illness can be chronic, and its treatment with medications is often required for many years and can be lifelong.

We think that mental health support is sadly under resourced and mental health is not spoken about nearly as much as physical disease.

We think this would be a small but important step in making the everyday lives of mental illness sufferers a little easier.
