Very interesting post.

However, I doubt that the nurse in question has the authoritative standing to
make such sweeping generalizations in the absence of more solid statistical
background data. I mean, since when did talking to oneself qualify as a
mental disorder?

This said, while I like The Point newspaper very much, especially for their
constant political vigilance, they occasionally engage in not only the ultra
sensational reporting style, but they also have a tendency to take people out
of context.

I do not think the right way to go about educating folks about mental
disorder is to give them the impression that no one among us is sane.
