Conclusion
However, Dr North stated that “[i]t is telling how many cases there have been where somebody’s poor mental health has been apparent retrospectively and then it has been revealed that somebody close to them was well aware of it, yet the system does not have a way of dealing with that”.219 This suggests that, although individuals may not discuss poor mental health with GPs or the police, it is likely that people close to them know about the issue.
