Mental health is a cunt.
A few years ago now someone, somewhere in the establishment decided to start peddling “mental health” as a good wheeze to excuse criminal, perverse, just plain stupid behaviour or any form of failure in life.
I’m not clear why this is but I suspect like most things it comes down to money, either folks building a career on this bollocks or the government saving the cost of keeping these bastards in the slammer to prevent them being a nuisance to the rest of us.
Just been a programme on the telly featuring people complaining they have low mood, depression, anxiety, panic attacks etc. One hearing voices and diagnosed as schizo but as he is a young black man then it’s in his DNA so no useful treatment available anyway.
Reminds me of my late mother’s opinion on first hearing the term post-natal depression; “We didn’t have this in my day. It hadn’t been invented.”
Link is to the Grauniad but remarkably appropriate I think. Worth reading.

Fuck me, even IAC is infested with people who need to get a fucking grip. We truly are fucked as a species.

We’re all human, fatjon…there’s not many men I could name (and I know a lot of people) that get to middle age without some form of mental anchor dragging them down, be it circumstance, bereavement or illness.

Never a truer word spoken! Nearly 50 and life does beat some people and leaves scars on everyone! I’m an alcoholic so I don’t give a f**k.

Morning all, truth is we all experience mental health issues at some point of our lives but the vast majority of us deal with it – we have no other choice. But to turn it into an industry and coerce younger and younger people to belive they have some illness when they don’t I’d absolutely inexcusable. I blame Blair.

So do I, Carl.
I blame Blair for everything.
Milk gone sour – Blair
Snowing – Blair, etc.
It’s convenient.
