This is a problem of the language, normally I speak German, sure I know English, but with some diffucult words like they are used in that thread, it may happen, that I mix up some- thing. That happened this time exactly! I'm so sorry! I tought the problem is about treatment of depression, for these cases, I'm sure my (and your) information will be helpful. It's the same with the description of jobs: Here in my country, the psycho-therapists had a study of medicine at the university, they are allowed to prescribe meds. In USA, for this job seemed to be used another word... Next time, when I gonna write a follow-up-article, i'll gonna use a dictionary...::--))) Well sorry once more, and I hope, the person, which started the thread can get some really useful help now!
