As always, interesting links.

I note that mental health 'therapy' is discussed only in relation to Western Civilization in the linked article. In various cultures, such maladies have been 'treated' differently, including venerating the deranged as prophets. Fortunately, it seems that treatment of the mentally ill has at least become less harmful generally in the West. People seem to have forgotten the origin of the word bedlam, and while I do not advocate forgetfulness, I am pleased that such circumstances are impacting folks far less nowadays.

Thanks!
