In fact, this was a very small white lie as the member of the family was suffering from severe depression, not anything that would have warranted admission to a mental hospital

different periods, different treatments, Lizzie, see Roobarb's post. My uncle was in a mental hospital for a third of his life because "they" couldn't cope... he was a doctor and knew he had been misdiagnosed but he could not do anything about it.

I count my blessings and refuse to worry about anything untoward.

cheers, falcybe

Lizzie; Roger's proven as sharp as usual there  ;) PTSD.

I'm off to send ye a PM about this. I don't mind talking about it, if there's a valid reason. Just not something I feel the need to bandy about on open fora.
