Great input guys.  

Who wants to help me put together a VC group for McShrink's?
Twenty-four-hour walk-in; we could get a clown to be our TV spokesman;
drive-thru windows; even playgrounds for those really in need!

Hans,

I'd not be surpized by the psychiatrist part at all. I'm not sure if a
40,50, or 60+ person is any more stressed today than 100 years ago but
there are a lot more drugs for the problem. Look at deppression, OCD,
and anxiety treatments now. Drugs like Paxil, Prozac, and Buspar (sp)
are VERY popular prescriptions EVEN for the HMO's to dish out. I have
several friends and family on long term use of these drugs. It's quite
the norm now. As physical health improves so does the need for mental
health. It will be interesting 20 years from now to see where it all
lead us. I'd keep a close eye on these trends.
