What disgusting treatment your husband received. No wonder he suffers from PTSD after that. It is shameful that the hospital caused him more damage than the condition he sought help for. He was not suicidal and should never have been placed into confinement. Your husband is not alone. A...

Excellent advice! It’s a pity we need to resort to giving false information, but with all those scammers out there it is our best option.

Today I received an email purporting to be from Facebook saying my account was “suspended”. As I cancelled my account earlier in the week, I doubt that I will be troubled by any suspension. The “from” address was clearly a scam one. No identifying details for my previous account were given...
