My job was the clinical and treatment side. IN many different settings. I would be more than willing to share that knowledge and experience with you but I have learned that people are usually either not interested in it, scared of it or contemptuous of the subject. That is understandable. So I guess you're right..it is big business. And if you can offer something..Go straight for it bro

Its a broad subject Keezoy (no pun intended), not sure retrospective stuff can be corrected and, not sure an oncoming onslaught can be stopped by having a conversation, its probably something to do with a moment in time (not the song)?25-03-2021, 01:00 AM

Right you are. There's few subjects more broad. I understand what you're saying..I think. I have to say though that lots of things in people's lives can be corrected. I have seen the process of achieving that, I have been part of it and I've managed to do it with people on my own many times. But mate, that's just me. As the great Joni Mitchell says...
"We are all just particles of change orbiting around the Sun"....Can't remember the song though.

Is this the one keezoy? If so then it's thanks to DuckDuckGo!
Hejira
by Joni Mitchell
"Well I looked at the granite markers
Those tribute to finality to eternity
And then I looked at myself here
Chicken scratching for my immortality
In the church they light the candles
And the wax rolls down like tears
There's the hope and the hopelessness
I've witnessed thirty years
We're only particles of change I know I know
Orbiting around the sun
But how can I have that point of view
When I'm always bound and tied to someone
White flags of winter chimneys
Waving truce against the moon
In the mirrors of a modern bank
From the window of a hotel room"

That was when I needed to find out about mental health and 'how we ticked' to help and try to understand a close family member who was going through problems, due to what happened in their life. It's a fascinating subject and one that needs more support, and I don't mean necessarily just through charities. Mental health problems are about 25% of what the NHS deals with but it receives just 11% of the total health budget. Something's wrong somewhere! Is this the one keezoy?

Bingo!..That's the one. Hejira was my favourite album of Joni's for such a long time. Although I can't fault any of them really. I saw her at the OPera House in '83. She had a full big band behind her and as you would imagine she blew everybody away.
