HookedOnFish Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Gosh, I know this is a bit of a taboo subject, but I was wondering does any one here have a mental health issue?

manders Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) The odds are good, 1 in 4 adults have mental health problems in any given year. Rampaging senility is my favourite Edited October 6, 2010 by manders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 It is relatively common but due to the stigma associated with mental health I doubt you will have many people coming forward... It is also a shame when you look at how underfunded it is in comparison to some of the more "trendy" diseases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 very common, people are generally uncomfortable discussing it. Stress and depression affect most people at some time, had my fair share...I recommend red wine as a cure all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchasselblad74 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 ...I recommend red wine as a cure all! Preferably Italian red wine....and some Jamon Iberico(Spanish Ham), Manchego cheese, slices of Gala Apples and some slices of crusty French bread........Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....Therapy.......

LJ Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Me - I'm completely bonkers! My plants go some way to keeping me sane :) Seriously though it is a subject people might not be totally comfortable discussing on a public forum but then anything is up for discussion on this section if people want to partake. I think most people will go through ups and downs during their lifetime, some more seriously than others but thankfully the stigma isnt as bad as its used to be and there's much more help available now too....I know enough people who have had problems with depresssion, anxiety, eating disorders.

Vic2 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I think James finds it therapeutic to sketch Munch's "The Scream" over and over again, all round the walls of his cell. All the more impressive as he does it using just his toes, as the 'special' jacket doesn't allow his hands to hold a pencil...

But for my taste, the cheese would be Somerset Brie or Cantal laguiole, the apples would be Kidd's Orange Red, and the red from one of the old family estates in the Paarl region of South Africa. And the company, almond-eyed, sophisticated and French. Bliss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
