Methinks you put wayyyyy too much confidence in physicians. Lots of them are on drugs themselves, many are beholding to drug companies and all of them are trying to make a buck. There is no money in treating the crazies among us. Maybe John Cleese can come up with a government Department for Identifying Crazies such as his Department of Crazy Walks. Or whatever that skit was.

Mental health issues are another of those bits of our world that has escaped any sense of control and has emerged into the general population. You will never get it back into a box.

Yeah, it makes the Demostinker feel better to have one or two boogiemen to make themselves feel better.

Truth be told, this country is in the state it is thanks to BOTH the Liberal-Demostinkers and
Republirat-Teahadists!

John Cleese and the followes who became Monty Python's Flying Circus would havew called the suggested government agency in Her Majesties Government, The MINISTRY of SillY Walks. Britain has a serveral hundred year lead over America in creating, refining and extending bureaucracy. Modern Bureaucry was invented in by the British and we schooled over 1/5th of the worlds people in the art of red tape (Red tape was actually used to seal official packages and documents for exchange with the King or Queen or their Ministers.
