Mental health problems are common in our society, yet they still carry an unwarranted and unwanted stigma. Mental distress can affect anyone, as shown by the fact that one in four of us will seek help for mental health problems in our lifetime. Indeed, around 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals every year.
As you would expect, the professionals in our mental health department are specialists in this area of law. All are members of the MIND legal network and four of our lawyers are also members of the specialist Mental Health Review Tribunal Panel.
They deal not only with people who have suffered mental health problems, but they are also experienced in helping the families of those affected by these issues. They understand the problems that you face, and have the experience to help you deal with them.
One of the most common issues we deal with is the detention of patients in hospital against their will. We can advise regarding the need for and likelihood of success of any appeal, either to a Mental Health Tribunal or to the hospital managers concerned.
Our team understands the strains that arise from any mental health issue. We are experienced and professional, but always sympathetic to the difficulties inherent in dealing with this particularly sensitive area of law.
