Rethink, a national mental health membership charity, works to
help everyone affected by severe mental illness recover a better
quality of life.
SANE was established in 1986 to improve the quality of life for
people affected by mental illness following the overwhelming public
response to a series of articles featured in The Times newspaper
entitled The Forgotten Illness. Written by Marjorie Wallace, now
SANE's chief executive, the articles exposed the neglect of people
suffering from schizophrenia and the poverty of services and
information.
