Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiSarah Saint-Claire has been dealing with the mental health care system in the province for the past 10 years.
That first experience left a sour taste in her mouth about the mental health system. Two months is a long time, she points out, adding that things could have changed for her in that time.A few years later, then-16-year-old Saint-Claire was at her family physician because of an eating disorder. “I was showing every single symptom and sign of someone with anorexia, but because my weight wasn't low enough, they couldn't actually diagnose me with an eating disorder.”Her next experience, in 2021, was around Christmastime at the Waterford Hospital in St. John’s.
She says following her sexual assault, she had to deal with the RNC on multiple occasions and felt the police didn’t take her seriously. She says mental health care in the province has gotten worse, especially with the increasing cost of living, she says, more people are experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression.Meanwhile, she says, getting help still takes months on a waitlist or expensive private care.
