Thanks for the love and peace Willy. There was another Manhatten Project in the 1960s - one that looked at which populations ended up with psychiatric problems. Migration turned out to have a major effect (bad). In the UK one is much more likely to be sectioned as an ethnic minority than as an indigenous white. This said, 7% of our kids have serious problems and 25% some kind of problem in this area. Even Sweden had a serious scandal in the 1980s regarding its asylums. Across Europe, pregnant girls have been treated to branding as insane and so on. I'm not sure we have got any better - the UK has a particular problem.
