Of Possible Interest:
Yesterday I listened to a podcast featuring a couple of former police officers. They told lots of stories, and at one point they talked about mental illness. Neither officer suffered from a mental illness, but they spoke about people they dealt with, about fellow officers, and about others they knew who did have various mental illnesses. What caught my attention was their agreement, on the basis of their (non-medical) observations and experiences, how ineffective psych meds seemed to be in resolving mental illness.

It was interesting to get that perspective from an unusual source.
