The Scottish community seems to me beset with spiritual problems. They can be identified by looking at gender psychology.

The men deny feelings, either as non-existent or unimportant, while the women are steeped in them living through a snow-storm of crippling issues. All of this compounds inequality and impacts heavily on relationships.

Not to say that such issues are peculiarly Scottish. They manifest everywhere in different ways. But in terms of mental health I estimate that the Scots are well down the league table. It is the women who invariably take the brunt.
