See what I mean about stalking, folks? This isn't about the number of people on antidepressants at all. It's about finding some way to discredit Barry/Unc. And this subject has been used to do so ever since it was brought up years ago on a.m.t. after I attended a talk by Helen Caldicott and she used this figure. It may or may not be correct; at the time she cited Medecins sans frontieres, an organization that is firmly in the "not only are too many psychotropic drugs being prescribed, but the actual numbers prescribed are being hidden by the drug companies in their reporting" school of thought. I don't know the answer. I do know that my attempt to treat Judy as a human being and interact with her as if she could get past her compulsion to try to discredit me in any way possible was a failure. I shall not make that mistake here again. Move on. Nothing to see here, folks. Just a cyberstalker doing the same thing she's done for ten years. TM sure helps its practitioners get past attachment, yep. :-) Unc To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
