Due to having a son with Bi Polar, plus I am also a sufferer. Does anyone hear think there should be support to help when sufferers have got into debt? Step change are good but it does involve form filling and some - like my son find it off putting. Due to lots of gambling sites etc those with mental health are sitting targets. I for one want these items addressed.

Sorry Borrowing gambling away money is a matter of trust, even when the person has mental health problems. Personally I do not carry money and never gamble, my Wife looks after the money, if I need something she buys it for me, making sure the item is needed and not impulsive.

Control in Gambling or purchasing can be impulsive however in the UK there are organisations who look and cure, possibly these sufferers.

With gambling there are ways to control impulsive spending at gambling sites.

That needs to be used to prevent money problems etc. Talk to your Doctor He can possibly put you in touch with various charities
