"'American citizens are four times more likely to seek counseling than Canadian citizens, eight times more likely than the British, and 900 times more likely than Germans,' said the NIH's Dr. Anne Hanratty, who authored the study."

Is that such a bad thing? Trying to fix it yourself is the downfall of many people. Thinking you have to go it alone and solve it yourself is the thing so many people bring themselves undone with. Apparently, the Americans are not good at getting help for medical problems. That's the fix it yourself mentality!! We are good at getting help for medical ailments and health issues. What we have been discussing , though, is how much we seem to be doing the work of other people at the moment. A real intertia seems to have hit our "infrastructures." I nearly fell over when my plumber turned up on time and I sorted all the bill paying and what have you easily and without hassle. At the moment we have been ringing no matter who and getting the processes put in place ourselves and doing half the work of other people.We have all been faxing, emailing, phoning to try and get problems sorted with the clerks who are supposed to be doing the job. Bureaucracy has been alive and well.
