Irish Examiner View: The power of a quiet revolution

Mental illness and empathy survey shows how attitudes have changed in a revolutionary way

Survey found nearly half of adults (41%) have been treated for a mental health difficulty.

This might not be the moment, just as Taliban leader Amir Khan Muttaqi is said to be in talks with the remnants of Kabul’s leadership, to suggest to the unfortunate, frightened, isolated citizens of Afghanistan that revolution can come quietly. 

It may not be the moment, either, to suggest that quiet revolutions have a habit of consolidating the change they bring in the most profound, seemingly permanent ways.
