• Is quality of service the answer? • Examples of a mental health service
dedicated to Quality?
20th Century Mental Health Care

In Health Care Politics the debate is still dominated by questions of location
Primary Care Vs Community Care Vs Residential Care Vs Secondary Vs Regional Centre of Excellence
Hospital Care
Home Care
Community Care
Residential Care in “Castlebeck”
Primary Care
What is Mental Health Care?
• A pseudo-science?• A craft informed by science?• A pill for all ills?• A social or political construct?• A myth?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
“There's a very strong view with a lot of people that depression and mental illness is not a medical condition, that it's part of life's events that people get depressed or get unhappy. Years ago people were unhappy, they weren't depressed, they weren't given the name depressed…I was aware that unlike other areas of health like cholesterol, diabetes, or coronary care, where you can measure the results of taking medication, in mental health, it is impossible to measure, scientifically, the results”
Minister Tim O`Malley, Pharmacist and Minister for Mental HealthIrish Medical News, November 2006
Dr. Steeven's Hospital 1901 Census
Mean Age 26.5 (23.5 women, 27.5 men)Female/Male 34/86 Religion C O I / COE: 17; Pres: 5, Refused: 1, RC: 97
Fully 50% of the 120 patients had infectiousdiseases readily curable now
“Arguably by the standards of 1901, no-one outside of the Cancer Care Unit and ICU is sick. Modern infections or fractures are treated within a week. Myocardial infarcts are surveilled and thombolysed or stented. The age curve in hospital has changed dramatically and one century later our illnesses are completely different.
Modern illnesses were unseen in 1901, because these disorders were either already fatal, or like Diabetes, untreatable. No one who attends an Orthopaedic Surgeon with knee pain would be accused of malingering, if there is a demonstrable irregularity on MRI, but that same patient would not have been admitted in 1901. They would have been dismissed as a waste of time unless their leg was infected or broken off. Mental health suffering is exactly the same. Active treatment in all its professional and societal forms (Psychotherapy, Pharmacology, Milieu, a more tolerant welfare state) has enabled community care for Mental Disorder. We now witness service users with more subtle illnesses or illnesses at earlier stages, but that doesn’t mean mental health suffering is not real. These are not sicknesses if you judge them by the standards of 1901 or those who operate today within those standards”.

Historical Fight for Mental Health
"He gave the little Wealth he had,To build a House for Fools and Mad:And shew'd by one satyric touch,No Nation wanted it so much:That Kingdom he hath left his Debtor,I wish it soon may have a Better.”

treatment – patients have often been in hospital for some time, refractory to medication
• Outcome score – after treatment
• Usually 3-4 weeks (average 7 treatments with ECT)
