That was a fascinating read too.

I have started this thread with my own particular assumptions about things, but as I have admitted I am somewhat ignorant on the issue. It was nice to see that my assumptions also appear to have some basis too.

It's insane how you can market a drug for shyness. There shouldn't need to be such a thing, surely such a character altering drug is on a par with cocaine or speed. I was a shy person once and still am when in a group, but my mantra is a simple one. You have to work these things out for yourself. You can't expect miracle drugs to do everything for you. You have problems, then deal with them. You are shy? Then work at it. All these years later am I shy? Yes, a little. Am I as shy as I was? No. Why? I worked on it. You can apply this logic to so many other things.

I also find it extremely bizarre when I am watching Friday night fights and the "I can't get it up" adverts come on. It's downright weird that you can be advertising "hard on" drugs on the TV. Is it only me that thinks this way?

I can see the logic of the "we will invent a solution to a new problem" industry. It's something I am very suspicious of and mental health is something we really don't really know all that much about. Does the person really have a mental problem or is it simply that it is easier to label them as having one and make some coin from it? It's that dividing line that has me arching my eyebrow a little.
