Blimey your comment is patronising. I've worked for 17 years in acute mental health, dementia, learning disabilities, forensics and currently crisis home treatment. I have a Higher Education Diploma in mental health nursing plus a first class honours degree Bachelor of science with specialist practitioner status. I also have the ENB 998 teaching award. If I were to list them all I'd be here all day. How DARE you suggest that my qualifications are worth nothing compared to the Americans. Have you any idea how much blood, sweat and tears I put in to obtain that degree, whilst working full time on top of it and supporting a family. We are paid a pittance for what we do. 99 per cent of the nurses I know, including myself came into this to help make things better for others. With this horrendous government and their cuts it is now THE most thankless position you could imagine. However I still strive to treat all my patients as I would like to be treated myself. I work over by at least one hour on every shift to achieve this. I see men like this guy in the film almost daily and if you want to totally trash my opinion then feel free. You talk about the Americans being superior, well at least WE DON'T HAVE A TYRANT AND DICTATOR FOR A PRESIDENT that the rest of the world is laughing at. End of.

Actually, if you read my post with a clear and unemotional head, you would have stumbled upon the last paragraph where i said "here in the EU" (which definitely doesn't make me an American, nor someone living in the USA), and also that the community college and postgraduate degrees you get from the US mostly aren't accepted in the EU. Nowhere did i praise the US.
I did state the fact that to become a full-time qualified psychologist you need to have a doctorate in clinical psychology, hence why people tend to go study clinical psychology more - it just correlates with medical and human cognitive disorder world more.
Trashing about how nurses make little. Yes, they do. They make little here, too. But that falls into the same category as to why elementary school teachers ccomplain they don't make good money (compared to their uni professor counterparts).

I get your point. I always have a very clear and unemotional head on otherwise how would I deal with people in the job I do. You are basically saying that I shouldn't be moaning as should have trained to be a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist to earn good money. I am well aware of what a clinical psychologist does, I work with them on a daily basis, as I do psychiatrists. My original point was that this man's behaviour could fit into multiple diagnosted categories or he could just be a self obsessed person. Not all people who treat ohers badly have a mental health ticket. How I WISH that the NHS supplied us with more psychologists but the fact is a patient has to currently wait approximately 12 months for an initial assessment and from then on may get up to 12 sessions. It's nurses like us who are dealing with the daily issues of people ranging from mild depression to full blown psychosis. I do, however respect your point of view that you would value the opinion of others rather than mine. I would say to you, if you have issues yourself to see your GP who can do the appropriate referrals. Have a good day.

Is that the sum total of your input!
Very insightful.
This is why I don't do social media, apart from the odd comments on here.
Just full of trolls and people hiding behind their anonymity.
