@No-Quarter said in RIP 2017:
Sometimes treatment works sometimes it doesn't.
Cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, depression.
Depends if you get the right treatment Nd how aggressive the condition is.
Cancer probably is a good analogy. Simetimes you can get it into remission but it's insidious. It's (often) always there no matter if you think you've nuked it. Similar to mental illness.
Good post. The better half has battled quite severe depression in the past and it is something that is always there. She has mechanisms to cope when it rares its ugly head - ensuring she is in a good routine, exercise and most importantly talking openly about it with myself & others close to her. She doesn't always undersrand why her 'mood' will change but doing those things helps a lot.
- JK may be a shit coach but the work he's done around suicide prevention is absolutely gold - who knows how many lives he's saved with the campaigning and services he's set up.
Rembrandt's comments would suggest that this campaign needs to continue.
In my current job I see a lot more mental health issues so have done some mental health training and I came out of that realising that I knew nothing about nothing. Basically I'd call in the professionals at the drop of a hat now, and TBH even doing that there is no guarantee that an intervention will be 100% successful.

the iHeart App is great, had it on now while putting down a brew!
Also remembered I put together a home movie of TR Jnr about 7 or 8 years ago with Be Yourself as the sound track!

@jegga I was just reading about this myself. Not unexpected given his health issues. A very underrated musician.
I bet we'll be hearing a lot of "Jessica" in the coming days.
Yeah his 70s lifestyle would have taken its toll on him. Have you ever seen this film? He's in it and the soundtrack is pretty good.
