"Mr President, I would like to thank John Bowis for his very comprehensive and detailed report on improving the mental health of our citizens, that is, the European Union’s mental health strategy. Mental health problems know no national boundaries, which is why we can speak of a mental health strategy for the whole Union. In any case, establishing a common strategy, creating a framework for cooperation between different institutions and monitoring its implementation could facilitate the introduction and provision of services for people with intellectual disabilities and those affected by mental disorders at the national level Throughout the ages, many measures of humanity have been developed. One of these is our attitude to people affected by mental disorders. In my view the demands for de-stigmatising the problem, eliminating prejudice, and changing attitutdes and stereotypes relating to psychological disorders are very important. Meanwhile, whenever a politician in Poland wants to insult another politician, he says, or implies, that the other is mentally ill or psychologically disturbed. Unfortunately, even some Members of the European Parliament indulge in this kind of behaviour. However, we should all remember that people who suffer from mental disorders deserve to be cared for and treated in a dignified and humane manner. In countries with a high unemployment rate, this problem particularly affects disabled people. That is why I strongly support initiatives to ensure non-discrimination in the treatment of those affected by mental illness and the social integration of people with mental disorders. These actions are particularly important because good working conditions have a positive influence on mental health."@en1
