So how your doin today

Subject: "So how your doin today"

"How well do you feel this morning". A bit under the weather, a few aches and pains, unhappy perhaps. Most of us occasionally get out of bed and feel not quite up to it. Most of us shrug it off, climb in the car or run for the bus and arrive at work hoping to feel better by lunch time.
We often know what contributed to our feeling off colour. Too much to drink, not enough sleep, having had a massive meal the digestive system is getting its own back.
Of course there are a whole range of symptoms for a reason to feel down such as  the onset of physical problems, mental disorders which currently are blossoming with a diversity matched only by the plethora of new names conjured up by the psychiatrist as they unearth yet another strange twist to the brain and the way it copes.
My question is "what constitutes normal". 

People queue up to describe their mental itch. It seems 'if you haven't got an itch you are not normal'. Many of the descriptions one hears seem to mimic what we put down to  having a momentary glitch, that feeling when you get up, that today it's not the same as yesterday but, given a few hours you will return to your normal self, it's that part of the variability of being human and living in a complex society.

There are of course the people who suffer each morning, who sit under a dark cloud and can never imagine the sun shining. They need all the psychotic help on offer but it seems to me that today's society has a penchant for invention. They read into their state of mind too much Dr Google and not enough Presbyterian common sense. 
Listening to caller after caller citing their grim diagnosis of their world and the lack of State and Private Enterprises help to act as a emotional placebo "why haven't our companies trained psychiatric staff on hand to help me" and so on. 
Our demand led society places great weight on its self satisfaction and its health usually in the hands of a third party, never themselves. The conclusion is I can get my problem solved by others.
Eating properly and sleeping properly, taking the long term view and not stressing over things we have no control over would solve half the mental illness and free up the experts to treating the ones who really need it.
