>Also congrats on working for BSPP in Paris, I wish I had done this when I was way younger but I missed the boat. One of the hardest toughest thing to do ever in France besides foreign legion.

Yeah it was not easy, but if you are fit enough you can sign up to be a reservist. You get good perks and it was good when I was a student, however if you are too empathetic it can wreck your mental. You need to see these people as patients you help rather than get involved with their problems personally.

Medicine is only one part of the solution, yes if nobody around her gives a fuck then meds will not do much. If you have a shit life and you take antidepressants, you will still have a shit life but you are just going to be numb to it.

But even if the family was trying their best (which I doubt), there is just not enough psychiatrics or space in hospitals to cater for everyone...

Rejecting meds because "they are Jewish" is very performative and stupid in my opinion, I do believe that SSRIs like Prozac are generally not very good and overprescribed and there are better medicines out there (like atypical antidepressants & spravato etc...) But I built an informed opinion based on studies rather than just blaming it all on "tha jooz".

From what I know (and it can be wrong), most of England outside of London is riddled with poverty. Yorkshire was prosperous in the 70s due to coal mining, steel production, etc... until China started dominating these industries and the 1985 miners strikes and Thatcher's retaliation dealt the final blow.

Most of the county's workers became unemployed and dependant on government benefits with no prospect of finding new work, many fell into drugs and prostitution, child grooming in the care homes (imagine the ASE scandals in France but worse), etc.
