Mental illness

Just watching the pommy Ambulance program and they said one third of the callers are related to mental issues. What the hell is wrong with our society that we are nearly all experiencing this nasty disorder.

I reckon the internet has a part to play with it. Less people getting out. Increased population. Doom and gloom on the news about the environment and increased cost of living.
