> Bear in mind also that the waiting lists, inherent in any govt-run health system (since resources must be 'rationed'), often mean a 3 month wait for a depressed person's first pdoc appointment. This was so in my case.-Since many depressive episodes have run their course in 3 mos, this is supreme irony.
> 'Free' health-care does have its advantages tho'. The care may be crap but at least everyone has access to it!
-Yeah, If you're hit by a car it's good, but doesn't sound so good for depression. And then there's those taxes you guys pay. I remember reading that as soon as the Rolling Stones started making big money, they changed their citizenship. They're citizens of . . . . Monaco? . . . . . The Bahamas?
