Summarization

It also includes a paper that focuses on out of pocket mental health costs and increasing risk of deterring people from seeking care. There is also mention of Indigenous women smoking during pregnancy and premature heart attack deaths in Schizophrenic patients. Other topics include person-centred language being more appropriate, Federal efforts for #mentalhealth promotion-prevention, and Labor Government going back to 10 sessions rather than 20.
