Watching Ricky Hatton's funeral coverage on the BBC in the UK.

It is clear he took his own life. A lot of the coverage has been about mental ill heath. From a man who had family, friends surrounding him but he still obviously took his own life.

And still the Government in the UK almost ridicules mental ill health, especially if people who are mentally ill dare to claim benefits because they suffer so much they cannot live, never mind work. When suicide because of mental ill health take their own life, there is nothing more serious

A Ricky Hatton memorial fund has been set up to talk about mental ill health issues. This should be all over the news in the UK, but I doubt it will be covered in the respect of mental ill health.

I didn't know this man but I just had a look on internet and I read that another boxer killed himself yesterday. Only 17 years old. So sad but not surprising.
Last day when I saw my psychologist, I talked about mental illness of celebrities. It's really time to talk about mental illness seriously in medias.
This world is so fucking cruel and stressful. Not surprising that 800 000 persons commit suicide every year.
