A heart-wrenching inquest has sparked a call to action from a grieving mother, urging a review of mental health laws after her son took his own life. Diane Watts, Jamie's community mental health worker, revealed a noticeable change in his behaviour before his disappearance, prompting her to request an urgent case review. With mental health awareness and support being crucial in preventing such tragedies, it's time to revisit and refine existing laws to ensure better protection and care for those struggling with mental illness, including depression and anxiety.
