Unfortunately, re-direction usually kills a discussion, especially since the automatic notices don't follow the redirect. Bob has always re-directed threads; only recently does he seem to be easing up or slacking, depending on your point of view.....
Redirection doesn't bother me. Right now,
I'm on vacation so I read the posts mostly,
but a change of pessimism regarding medications
is coming over me - not so much for my health
because lithium is an excellent drug (requiring
a meter - which could be manufactured if the
medical technologists put their heads together)
but for my close friend and friends of hers, some
of whom have died under sad conditions of mental
health care; losing some quality
of life for many years and being in a
chronic state of chemical bondage. I think other people too, suffer from inadequate or just poor drugs.I hope scientific endeavours are increased instead of grants for the genome project, e.g. - i mean what are they going to do if they find that mental illness IS genetic - change the genes in middle life, practice eugenics or just forget about psychopharmacology altogether;
