I somehow got to this video when going over a website that was not related in subject matter to it... and I listened in. Health has been a topic here recently and I thought Pixie might enjoy watching this. Note also the link to education - something mentioned recently too. I said I find the education system (of the so called Western world) to be quite lacking. Due to this lack of emotional intelligence and understanding in our society people get medicated that should, in my opinion, have been given a different type of care (ideally from a young age).
