You do use the term mental illness unquestioned early on but then you rightly unpick it and I think doing it that way round would fit with the readership.   Happy for my name to be put with it.

>> 
>> 
>> At a time when demand for foodbanks is increasing and government policies are disadvantaging vulnerable groups in society, Lord Layard's recent report is a cause for significant concern (Unhappiness more likely to result from poor mental health or being single than economic factors, major new study finds, independent.co.uk<http://independent.co.uk/>, 12 December). The report attempts to separate mental distress, and problems such as domestic violence and alcoholism, from wider social issues, such as poverty and unemployment. The fact that mental health varies across social groups is no coincidence. Outcomes on a range of health and social outcomes, including mental illness, are worse in more unequal rich countries (The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Always Do Better, Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009).
>> 
>> The relationship between poverty, mental health and well-being is complex, as is measuring happiness. Poverty is about access resources and freedom to claim one's rights (Poverty and Mental Health, Mental Health Foundation, 2016). Coping with job insecurity, redundancy, long term unemployment and punishing social 'security' systems all contributes to high stress. Losing connection with co-workers and friends through unemployment, or being unable to afford or find the time to socialise, increases isolation. It is unsurprising that feeling powerless, defeated and trapped by poverty provokes sadness, misery and depression. Losing the opportunity to empower disadvantaged people as part of the effort to improve well-being, and instead focusing on specific therapies to reduce symptoms of so-called 'illness', is  ludicrous and illogical. As a privileged and titled man, Lord Layard holds great power - we urge him to use it wisely.

>> Thank you Mark. . Great idea. Here's the version I sent with all signatures received by late afternoon yesterday Dear Editor, Richard Layard is promoting the idea that better provision of mental health services is more important than reducing social inequalities in promoting human happiness (Happiness depends on health and  friends, not money, says new study, Guardian, Monday 12th December). This is a false dichotomy. Evidence suggests that austerity damages our collective health. Deepening economic and social divides, bullying, abuse, misogyny, racism, dehumanisation and consequent insecurity, trauma, social exclusion, neglect and despair underpin the current tsunami of desolation in the UK and beyond, specially in our children. These are largely economic and political matters, requiring cultural, social and political solutions.  Psychological therapies, humanely delivered to those who want them, have a part to play in ameliorating human suffering, and we do need more flexible, kind and supportive services. But we must not pathologise those who are damaged by the injustices they experience. Degradation by the benefits system is now devastating many with long term illnesses in the UK. To imagine  that therapy, rather than social transformation, can address or prevent the conditions that lead to despair is to be wilfully blind.

You ask us to do what "we can do to chip away at this narrative as it emerges". Here is another thruppence worth from me which - I hope -  also helps to take the discussion some of us have been having on the list half a step forward.
>>>> 
>>>> Lord Layard, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the LSE, has long been a relayer of discourses which simplistically re-position oppressive, complex, socially-constituted, phenomena as individualised psychological problems which have individual psychological solutions i.e. Professor Layard is a relayer of psy-complex discourses. These discourses function to obscure the role of social, structural, material and political factors, to individualise, psychologise and depoliticise and to absolve interest groups implicated in the oppression of responsibility for what is the case and of responsibility for for playing a role in effective intervention. Combined with Professor Layard's historically preferred mode of intervention (e.g. CBT) to address individual psychological problems, individual cognitive-behavioural dysfunction is victim-blamingly ultimately positioned as the cause of social problems.
>>>> 
>>>> In this deployment of the psy-complex, the discourses peddled by Professor Layard are of course essentially no different in principle from those peddled by many psychologists. So far this is critical psychology 101. However to go a little further, it is important not only to resist the psy-complex wherever it is inscribed but also to resist temptation to resist it within the frame of reference within which it is presented. To engage in debate about whether 'tackling depression and anxiety' would be more or less effective than 'tackling poverty' would be to play the master's game by the master's rules and so to reinforce them. Rather we should try to uncover the interlocking systems of constituting forces through which human subjects are reconstituted under current politico-economic conditions and - as Biehl, Good and Kleinman (2007) put it - "inner processes are reshaped amid economic and political reforms, violence and social suffering". That is: to understand the genealogy of the contemporary neoliberal subject and to find ways to resist the constitution of such subjects, including finding ways to resist our own reconstitution as neoliberal subjects.

I am just popping up now to ask if you could use your networks, and social power, to respond to Layard's new 'landmark' study which has hit today, and is getting lots of press. I don't have the methodology as yet, it is being presented at the LSE/OECD wellbeing conference today. However you can read a bit about the study here<https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/dec/12/happiness-depends-on-health-and-friends-not-money-says-new-study>. This sample quote from the Guardian may be telling: "Tackling depression and anxiety would be four times as effective as tackling poverty. It would also pay for itself," he said. Dangerous, damaging, and happening now. Everything we can do to chip away at this narrative as it emerges will help.
