Bottom line to the ones here who want to sound so intelligent about mental illness.
I offer anyone to call CAMH, ask a mental health worker about people who have obvious addictions to prostitutes, and then see what their response is about your intelligent comments.
Instead you will speak to me of your so-called knowledge on the subject and refuse to look at the obvious.

Hank, can you please answer these questions directly?Hank Reardon said:
In general you believe that every... no let me rephrase, that the majority of TERB members are addicted to prostitutes?
Everyone who visits a prostitute, mp, or strip club has an addition problem?
The use of service provided by prostitutes, mps or strip clubs is unhealthy? even in moderation?
I'm not taking time out of my day to call CAMH.Hank Reardon said:
so please, enlighten me what are the CORRECT numbers.
I don't think I'm wrong, in fact i think 50% is fairly low
Two-thirds of Canadians have experienced depression and anxiety personally, or have a relationship with someone who has, and one in three believe people would think less of them if it were known they suffered from these conditions. The prevalence of depression and anxiety and the continuing stigma attached to these conditions are key findings in a new survey conducted by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.
2/3 is more than half. and thats only covering ONE mental disorder, nevermind all the other ones out there.
I don't think anyone here is trying to sound like they are a mental health professional, but some of us do have a lot of experience first hand with mental illness in varying degrees. I myself have had depression for several years, and have done massive amounts of research on the subject. I probably know almost as much as most doctors about treatments, drugs and alternative remedes. I would bet that few doctors have read over 200 books on just that one subject. Am I a professional, no. Do I know what I am talking about, hell yes.Hank Reardon said:
Addiction is addiction whether it is the use of alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, or over eating. Addiction is a symptom not a cause. It is a temporary relief from another problem in ones life. Mental illness can cause addiction, however it is rare for a person to become an addict when they are mentally stable. Also, please keep in mind that there is a big difference between the person who has a glass of wine with dinner compares to the person who drinks a fifth of straight vodka every night. The same can be said with sex. There is a difference between to person who uses the service of providers occasionally as compared to the person who does not pay their mortgage because their money goes to hobbying.Hank Reardon said:
What is obvious to one person might not be obvious to the next.Hank Reardon said:
Well, the issue is is that its not 50%. If you call or don't call it makes no difference. My point is is simply that 50% is too high and no experts in that field will agree with you.ASYLUM said:
Experiencing depression for a short stint would not classify as mental illness, maybe thats where we do not meet I guess.
Either way, it is a real problem in our society,
Evil that lurks among us!

I don't know who called you an idiot, but playing the victim as oppossed to backing up your facts of 50 % don't wash with me.
Also working wherever does not mean that 50 % is accurate.

There is way too many mental illnesses they are medicating children with. adhd, add, bipolar, autism, depression the list goes on and on. Just autism alone is 6 out of every 1000 (Need proof?)

I think that any doctor who puts a kid on meds ( with very few exceptions) is a fucking idiot and not much of a doctor.
Also, DSM is changing so often.
Homosexuality in 1973 was classified as mental illness btw.
