Thank you Susan. There continues to be this quandary with the power of the drug industry and the medicalisation of psychiatry being to blame. As we know, it is now a scientific fact that so much more can be achieved, even with those service users who have enduring mental health problems, if the appropriate talk therapy was to be used. I will never stop highlighted the plight of these people whenever I can. Regards and thanks.

Joe, this one must have hurt to write it. It has been written in the best way possible- -realism with just the right touch of bitter and sorrow and anger. I don't see these drug abuses being replaced with psychiatric help of the finest- -it would require more money spent on hiring more staff and more outstanding staff and less on getting by with a skeleton staff by supporting the pill industry. Very important write, Gary, and done so perfectly. 10
