What's wrong this this? It's no different to measuring IQ and then streaming kids who are having trouble.

Lots of people have minor mental difficulties that really could do with treatment. There's currently a big social stimga associated with seeking help of this kind and this needs to be changed.

Of course, it could be something really sinister, but it isn't.

It's beyond obvious that people who make these drugs will be keen on the idea - it helps people that need it (discharging social responsibility) and makes money too (the whole point of having gambled with drug research in the first place). This is Capitalism at its best.

Maybe I'll read the article someday - the headline is enough for me right now.
