Hi folks;

For those of you who don't read my "Strange Days" thread, I'd like to point out that today is International Mental Health Awareness Day.

While you think about that, consider THIS...... 1-in-4 people will suffer some form of Mental Health problem at least once in their lives; 1-in-10 will suffer from a psychotic episode, and 35% of THEM will have the illness for the rest of their life.

To put that in perspective for ya; going on an estimated 250 MILLION American citizens, that means that EIGHT and THREE-QUARTER MILLION Americans will develop a life-altering illness that is not understood by the majority of "Joe Public" and who are shunned by their friends, family and neighbours if they tell people what's wrong with them! Think about that for a moment.... that's the equivalent of the ENTIRE population of the STATE of GEORGIA!!! What are the odds that YOU could be next?

Spare a thought for those less fortunate than yourself!!

DM
