‘Thank God for the Government ban on disposable vapes’
Mary Deller from Hope UK says the Government’s measures to tackle the huge rise in young people taking up vaping are a positive step forward.

OpinionAre doctors over diagnosing mental health conditions and turning biblical, anthropological problems into illness in the process?
‘Commentators argue that, unlike physical disease, mental health diagnoses are typically not based on tests like blood work or scans. Rather, they stem from the standardized categorization of behaviours and other symptoms. The challenge, they suggest, is that once someone is “labelled” with a particular diagnosis, they may mistakenly believe they have an inherent biological flaw - which can ironically hinder their recovery,’ says Ann-Louise Graham.
