19th Nervous Breakdown? Maybe it's time to seek professional help!
After listening to my cover of Mick and Keith, generate a diagnostic hypothesis based on what you gather from the lyrics. After formulating one or more possible diagnoses, tell us how you would test to make a final diagnostic determination if you had the "patient" depicted here right in front of you, as her psychologist.
Second, after considering Goldenberg and Goldenberg's notions of vertical and horizontal stress and their interaction, both on an individual and familial level, prepare a vignette in which you offer clues as to what caused this "19th Nervous Breakdown." These should include cululative stress (horizontal) and immediate stress (vertical) factors.

I am very impressed this is a great song with a great beat. It had me tapping my twos and bopping my head. I will have to listen some more to the lyrics in order to asnwer the questions.

I really enjoyed this song as well. I agree with Michelle. I am going to have to listen to the song more to get all of the lyrics to answer the questions. What I got from the song so far was that her vertical and horizontal stress are the same problem. She feels as though she never gets anything right which is threatening her well being right now. She has had trouble getting things right in the past so its seems that when she takes on a task she defeats herself before she has even started. Since she defeats herself before start she inevitably fails which causes her stress in the present.

Good song. I will also have to listen a couple more times to come up with a scenario for this woman's vertical and horizontal stresses, but it seems to me so far that she is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, in that she is so afraid of failure that she just continues to fall apart under pressure, thereby perpetuating the cycle of failures in her life. More tomorrow when I have (sort of) slept.

Okay, after refreshing myself on the lyrics, I now see that this woman is crying out for the attention she never got from her parents, who apparently gave her material things but not love. Her mother neglected her and now is heavily in debt, and her father sounds like he had other things that interested him more than she did. She had problems with her parents in the past and she's still going through it now, and it taints everything else in her life. The nervous breakdowns are as much a cry for help and attention as they are anything else.
