hhhhmmm....not so happy in the psychiatric profession I'd gather. I tried SO HARD to live past the limitations imposed by my biochemistry (and I still do ;-). In the past it was enough to make me want to die because of feeling not "good enough".
Ehhhh....this again touches that fuzzy gray area between biology and intention and choice, and wherever the hell they all meet. In some cases it is as clear as day that a dysfunctional biochemistry is to blame, but very often it isn't so clear. Most mentally ill people are not violent and willfully irresponsible....so I wonder who he's really talking about.
