is that your medical opinion?
i dont think thats a fair comment...british society is certainly high pressured with such over regulation, surveilance, intrusive policies and ridiculous cost of living, with f**ed up divorce and child maintanence laws, but most of us manage to get by with relativley few problems, psychogically, and its not really helpful to paint a whole people with the one brush is it? im british and ive spent my whole life fighting/resisting racism, sexism and prejudice in all its forms cos ive seen enough and lived in the truely diverse culture of london most of my life to know that its all b***ks.
this incident is very sad but these things happen everywhere, and it s practially impossible to make a judgement call wih such little info.
QT; i wouldnt say any of those things, probably some kind of mental illness, in the loosest sense taht crazy people are usually just unhappy and that to heal they need to find and deal with what it is taht has caused it a la CBT...figure you gotta be unhinged seriously offkey to murder your own kids yknow. cant see how society or sociological phenomenon can be to blame for that.
Britexpat; think that mainstream psychological diagnosis is fundamentally flawed and that trying to categorise people in the way they do is often very unhelpful, that said the medical system obviously has a need to quantify symptoms, treatments, from friends who work in psych wards even they find teh system frustrating and flawed.
