I know someone who should be claiming and desperately needs the help but pride and the hoops you have to jump through is preventing him trying any more.
So what your saying is basically that over the last decade or so there has been an epidemic of mental health issues .Why all of a sudden are so many people being classed as disabled either physical or mental ?Why are more people claiming disability benefits of some kind than are claiming unemployment benefit ?

have a read of this it's a good article imo .
