It points out that America's "symptom repertoire" is being exported around the world, causing more people to experience symptoms that were not common to their culture in the past. Kind of a long article, but interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/magazine/10psyche-t.html?scp=1&sq=mental%20illness&st=cse [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
