[Pyramid*]

Now....do not get me wrong here, there are many forms of completly disabiling mental illnesses and extremely genuine cases, however I cannot help but feel we are now a nation who are happy to go along with mental illness as being used for all manner of excuses: from behaviour, to not being arse to get out and work.

I really do feel that too many people (and worrying, a huge number of younger folk) who band illnesses such as 'depression / bi-polar / OCD' around - who neither actually do suffer but play up on it - as they really cannot be measured but can be very much imitiated and 'played up on' - especially when so many signs, symptoms are available online for them to display.


I cannot help feel that it's an ideal way for people today who simply want and crave attention, to make themselves feel 'special' or 'in need' - when in fact, there is buggar all wrong with them. It makes a mockery of those who really and truly do suffer.
