RE: suicide
Edward A Childe, Retired physician psychotherapist, Member Canadian Psychiatric Association
I had a 50 year career in psychiatry and found that taking a personal history provided answers to the patient's symptoms. Drugging people can sometimes help, but far more often it just hides problems and makes solutions more difficult. Having a more open and honest society would help, even if the medical profession lost some of its virtual monopoly.
