Mental Health Post SHTF

[Scythe13]

WOW! I'm not sure about over in the US, but here in the UK we have quite a broad spectrum of mental health diagnoses and orders.

I was thinking more along the lines of recognising that if someone is different, they're not all psychos! Granted some are. But not all. Infact, it's only a very small percentage that are psychotic. I was thinking more along the lines of recognising the less extreme part of the mental health spectrum and being able to recognise that in a person or in yourself, and being able to adapt and work with it, if not harness it and benefit from it.

MB recognised that some elements will sort themselves out and others will get sorted out. But it still makes sense for us to accept and appreciate that not everyone will be the same and if someone is slightly different, to understand it.

If someone is a real psychotic killer, they're usually in a high end job and highly intelligent. It is rear that a serial killer is an idiot...usually the idiot ones get caught early on and thus cannot be serial killers. But the thing is, just because someone is different, it doesn't mean they're a psycho.

With mental health, things are not just black and white. There is a HUGE spectrum of grey in there.
