Mental health thread

[nonconformist]

Most depressed individuals who go to a GP are just prescribed anti-depressants and sent on there way (a dangerous drug in it's own right). GPs are still under budget constaints and it's way cheaper to prescribe somebody anti-depressants then 6 hours of counselling or therapy every week for 6 months.

This isn't true at all, and it hasn't been for over 10 years, unless you're living in a part of the UK with a horrifically underfunded NHS.

So now for the ultimate mental health question. Does talking to yourself mean you are crazy or no?

Crazy people don't talk to themselves, they talk to others that don't actually exist.
