Sad indeed! Quite bizarre, actually. (edit) Actually my latest pdoc seemed quite aware that certain meds and hospital experiences could be quite traumatising. Her concern was that when the word "suicide" was mentioned, her risk of landing up in court was far greater if I killed myself than if I became a cabbage from over zealous drug therapy.
