Well said! But then expect to have your wrists smacked by the illustrious
colleges of GP and Psychiatry. Thou shalt not weep and lack sleep for more
than two weeks. If so you become a
tablets for 3-12 months person. Don't know about you but I'm finding it
increasingly easy to elicit
4 or 5 first rank symptoms of depresssion in people who I know (body
language and previous gameplay) are NOT needing the label or the pills or,
if you can get it, Cog Beh Ther. But we tend to blitz them with SSRIs,
change their consciousness, and claim a cure. Furthermore we can now be
taught on CDROM how to ask the qualifying questions and are encouraged to
audit our case finding as well as the APPROPRIATENESS of our prescribing
(ie. megadose for ages). And who do we find authoring these little
education and audit packs? Slap my thigh - the drug companies again. Am I
allowed to buy shares and increase my APPROPRIATE prescribing a little?
Heaven forbid!
