Ed is truely remarkable!
Yeah I agree everyone else gets ignored....and the docs would rather precribe heroin than any combos of useful drugs....and what therapy? I was offered six counselling sessions (after a wait of four months) which I declined, because what good would six sessions do? By the time the theapist got their head around my complicated family, I'd have to leave!
Also my mother, who is Finnish, says that the state of the maternity care here in the UK compared to in Finland is alot worse. I don't know about the mental health care in Finland, but I know that my elder brother who had substance abuse problems was in rehab in Finland for two years (as in hospital rehab).
And another interesting fact - mercury filings have been completely banned in Finland for years, but here in the UK we still use them. My mothers theory is that it would cost the NHS too much if they banned mercury, and got everyone who has mercury fillings to change them to white ones.
Anyway I'm babbling on.....sorry!
PS sorry if some of my post have been rather dark/not very helpful/rather angry - I guess its just the place where I am at just now.
