"When people discuss a low-probability risk, their concern rises even 
if the discussion consists mostly of apparently trustworthy 
assurances that the likelihood of harm is small."

       Alkahma and Slovic, 1994, in Shafir, Behavioral Foundations of 
Public Policy, 2013

[So every time mental health professionals or research is cited as 
'no more violent than ... ', what happens is the reader's concern 
rises.  Good for pharma; good for the industry; not so good for 
people who experience mood swings, fear, voices and visions.  I'm 
discouraged.  Sylvia]
