more stuff about depression in Kiwi kidz. They are presenting themselves to gp's and asking for drugs by name.
The heakth department is starting to get worried about the number of prescriptions.
It is going throught the roof.
Nobody really seems to know anything about depression.
The trick cyclists and the pigeon specialists think they have the skinny but they done seem to want to get their 'MINDS" dirty (sic).

just heard a stupid person saying "WE" dont know what depression is.
What nonsense.
Of course we know but nobody wants to get their minds dirty.
To know how a mind works you have to study it.
