Thanks for clearing that up - I'm in the UK and couldn't get your drift. Now I can.

There are to issues.

The first is - is clinical depression a serious and often fatal condition. Answer - yes.

The second is - should the government pay for it's treatment answer - ? for you clearly no, and that is honorable.

But I would urge you not to rubbish the former in order to justify the latter.

Kind regards as always

With regards to depression itself, I have found that sympathy can be a driver and an enabler of depression... because it is pleasurable to be sympathized with, giving sympathy actually encourages the continuation of depressive behavior.

Said only in the way a Brit could say it! Glad you have had such a success.
