It's not surprising that the U.S. tops the rates. Mental illness doesn't carry enough social stigma in the U.S.
It's cute that psychologists/psychiatrists are concerned: Newsflash: Most people lead shitty lives and are better off indulging in alcohol, drugs, religion, psychology and other compulsive behaviors than dealing with reality.

When are they going to make a drug for boredom? My life is fantastic. I actually really like every single minute of my existence as long as its not sitting at a desk. Hell, I even like my job - when I'm on my feet, talking, interacting, etc... I just want a pill which will take away these pointless hours of sitting in an office, and remove the dullness of having to go to the same place every day. Job jumping used to be my cure, but the damned economy ended that prescription. I need a bliss pill which will allow me to analyze legal crap and write letters and briefs and sit in an office without becoming bored so easily, like the rest of the people who actually seem not to mind writing, researching and all that mindless garbage. What pills are they on, and why won't anyone give me any? |
