Thought I'd post a BBC News article I saw about Asda and Tesco selling halloween costumes titled "Mental Patient Fancy Dress Costume" and "Psycho Ward", something they've both come under flak for. It's been reported Amazon are selling the same costume and other stores may also be stocking them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24278768Asda has said it's going to make a "very sizable donation" to Mind after the incident.

I heard about this on the news and had to google it to see what the costume was like. It is quite distressing really to see that something like that should represent a mental health patient. I do hope that good can come out of this by bringing about the topic of mental health and bringing breaking the stigma to the forefront again. Has anyone been watching this mornings mental health clinic?
