I really don't know how long this has been going on as I don't tend to
keep up on mental health.  I made a conscious decision at the age of 22
not to remain in that end of the business.
I haven't changed my  mind since, but I have since learned a lot about
mental illness in helping patients escape the unnecessary attention of
"mental health"  professionals  who swallowed hook, line and sinker
either everything Freud or Skinner and those who followed them wrote.
