I remember that when my mother reached middle age she was always complaining about her "nerves", and many women at the time seemed to be going through the same thing.

When I got older I discovered that this was a thing called the menopause which is basically a natural process. The answer of the medical profession at the time was to issue drugs like vallium as if they were dishing out smarties. Thus the person who was suffering from a perfectly natural, though difficult condition became a "victim".

I spent about eighteen months visiting a nursing home and the evidence of the destructiveness of this type of drug on much of a generation was plain to see there.

Michael Jackson must have had so many pills in him when he died that he probably rattled!
