"I voted in favour of this report on mental health, which seeks to ensure that this challenge remains one of the political priorities of the European Union with regard to health.
This report calls for measures to prevent depression and suicide, to encourage mental health among young people and within the education system, in the workplace and among older people. It also stresses the need to combat stigmatisation and social exclusion. The text also invites the Commission to propose common indicators to improve the comparability of data and to facilitate the exchange of good practices and cooperation between Member States to promote mental health.
Finally, I am pleased that the report makes a clear distinction between neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, and mental illnesses. Alzheimer’s disease is indeed a very particular type of illness which should not be treated in the same way as mental illnesses."@en1
