Thank You both Mr Mooney and The Economist for a most informative and ‘wellwritten’ article.
I believe this article is as important, if not more so, for those 80 or so of the population who do not suffer the dreadful consequences of the prejudice of all mental health illnesses, this type of a condition.

This is where it starts getting entertaining.a crucial point is that mental illness is rarely only mental.
