Episode 4 - The Right Honourable Sir Norman Lamb on why he is the only politician to ever mention "personality disorder"
1Description
As a member of parliament and member of the coalition government, Norman Lamb was one of the few (the only?) politicians to mention the term 'personality disorder, let alone chair a commission about it. Norman listened to people who had been given this diagnosis and co-authored the Consensus Statement - A paper calling for the term personality disorder to be abandoned, for better services for people given this label and a more compassionate approach to those who had lived through awful experiences. A champion of human rights, Norman has campaigned against long detentions in private psychiatric hospitals. His contribution towards the welfare of people given this diagnosis is greatly missed in parliament.
