Crisis ups mental health services need
March 5th 2009 01:29
The global economic meltdown will increase demand for mental health services meaning public and non-government organisations must work together to "share the burden", a visiting expert says.
"My advice to all those poor nutjobs out there is to buy yourself some shares in Pfizer because it's the only way to guard against taking out your psychosis on an innocent member of society," the expert says.
"Clinical tests show that everyone is crazy but having the ability to hide behind material gain can prolong the illusion of sanity until such time as dementia begins to reveal the raving idiot in all of us," the expert says.
"I worry for those people who will no longer have the access to luxury items that can lift the mask of sanity over the eyes of the world. I worry that the facades people have spent years building will start to crumble."
"I might add that I'm not worried too much. This thing is going to be great for business! Nobody even knew who I was until all this unfortunate business with the fortunate trying to get more fortunate," the expert says.
"And now that the mask of capitalism has begun to slip off the faces of the faceless, I must say that reality is becoming increasingly obvious. The reality is, everyone I've ever met is bonkers," the expert says.
"The ones you have to worry about are the ones who have the mask so tightly on when they take it off they take their face with them. Having no awareness of your own identity is terrifying," the expert says.
"The fact is, capitalism and sanity are perhaps the two biggest problems facing the world. The problem is how to get rid off them completely. If we can do that the mask will well and truly be off. We can face our wounded selves without the pretence."
