Hi Bizi. The positive spin on this is that more, and more people are getting help for their mental health conditions. There are better medicines then before, and more councilors. People use to not talk about these issues at all because it is so misunderstood.

We have a long way to go though.

When I was a young man, I didn't talk about it because these things were not talked about until around 1980.
(((But))) like you said, There is not much of a positive spin off. The pressures of these modern times are very heavy. BF
