I wish i could say its surprising or irrational, patients were suffering greatly and see no other option to end their pain except suicide. This is more rational then many politicians could ever hope to approximate, yet they are paid big bucks when they screw their constituents while patients of this devastating disease are typically tortured by the professionals who are supposed to help them...

 

I think one of the many benefits of more biomedical research is that it gives people hope that there might be improvements. It's one of the things that helps me to keep going and to not consider suicide.

Probably the whole of the results section could be quoted. It does summarise a lot of the difficulties people with the illness have so it itself is a bit depressing

 

If the last three extracts look familiar, that's because I initially posted them to the wrong thread!
