World Champ Helped My Mental Health

Leigh Bailey is now a qualified gym instructor Leigh Bailey's world was in tatters - he had a breakdown, and had lost his job, his wife and his children. He was so depressed he barely left the house and was suffering low self-esteem. Today he is brimming with confidence and has recently qualified as a gym instructor. And he credits his transformation to a 10-week Boxercise course run jointly with the Croydon branch of Mind and three times world champion Duke McKenzie. Boxercise is a fitness class which incorporates a number of boxing moves and techniques, without the physical contact. Boxing fit" It really inspired me," said Leigh. "Before I started the Boxercise programme I was suffering from agoraphobia, low self-esteem and depression, I wasn't working or leaving my house other than to attend medical appointments. " It had a major impact in helping me regain ownership of my own life." Read More News by clicking here

Care Level Worry in Mental Health

A study which was commissioned after two deaths involving Mental Health patients has found that Mental Health Services in Wales have placed some patients and held them in inappropriate institutions. The study found that a lack of beds, escalating costs, poor communication and funding disputes in the service were to blame for these issues. The BBC's Dragon's Eye programme also claimed a bid for more assembly powers over mental health was being held up and the welsh assembly stated they would consider the study before deciding what to do.

Mental health Services fall into three main catagories of High, Medium and Low but some patients being detained under the Mental Health Act should be sent to the appropriate institution. But the study found that a number of welsh patients were being held within the high security institutions who did not require this level of care. The reason for this can be down to delays in moving the patient to lower security institution and because within wales there is no dedicated medium secure institute for the treatment of Personality Disorder.
