`...Mental health is a mystery, still, and so much of it is due to the chemical soup swimming in our bodies and our brains...' Tim obviously knows a great deal more about mental illness than the rest of us. His psychiatric buddy who `completely fixes' his patients with the same facility that his medical colleagues fix their diabetic patients seems to have made a convert. (Incidentally, I wonder how many people there are on the list with diabetes who lives have been freed by insulin, who never have to worry each day about their diet, can forget their blood levels, their exercise, their monthly attendance at the clinic ...?) I hope his reassurance & advice to Helena to keep taking the medicine doesn't come across as too condescending. I'm afraid if I were in her shoes I should feel ever so slightly stigmatised or even `weekened'. Actually, I feel a tiny bit stigmatised myself with that final little scream: `...eek, I sure hope we don't sound like a "mens' club"; yuck!..' What's that meant to mean ? You can scarcely move around here for the throngs of beautiful lady Ozzies - but even if it were otherwise what's so terrible about men's associations ? I hope Tim doesn't feel inclined to make this kind of crack about the Roman Curia or the Dalai Lama's outfit. Scottie B.
