Looks as the the thread has run its course.
However it has been a good thread. Anything that highlights the subjects of either bi-polar or depression can only do good The more people talk about the subjects the more people will realise that there are millions of sufferers and it will not be a taboo subject. Figures out say 1 in every 3 people will suffer from this type of illness during their lifetime. Such a shame that most people have to try and hide it.

Hi Marie
It was depression I was referring to and I was saying I have not heard of anyone going into a care home for this. I do know that there were many people in what they called "mental hospitals", maybe they are called care homes now.
I do know you were only being helpful - thanks
