Your fear of being institutionalized in Bangkok would provide enough anxiety for me to get the hell out. That's what I was talking about. I guess my situation is different, because I've not found anything which would even allow me to contemplate living abroad. I think that would be stressful to say the least. In my situation, I would also worry about the level of expertise available in the field of psychiatry in SE Asia. I doubt they're involved in any cutting edge treatments, and obviously don't even have Parnate. That having been said, Thailand might be one of the best countries to be in if you're going to be in SE Asia. I have a Cambodian girlfriend, as well as Vietnamese and Phillipino friends. It's obvious to me from knowing them that you wouldn't want to be in those countries. I mean, they have a very limited concept of even the existence of mental illness. It, to me, shows how humans have addressed mental illness in centuries past. "It doesn't really exist".
