This would be for however long is needed to seek the treatment to return to a stable enough level of mental health to return to university.
I think the biggest concern is that many young people today will not enjoy the same standard of living as their parents in many categories such as job security, retirement prospects, child bearing, etc
Red deer have no natural predators just now and plenty of food - they will continue to increase in number.
You will also find that a lot of those that stalk deer are not "the gentry".

In some parts of London the infection rate is higher than Africa and resistance is found in over 10% of cases.
The cost of drug treatment for resistant TB is over £50,000 (not including the high staff costs for specialists, to track down everyone they have been in contact with etc)
Each cycle requires a group of eggs and only a certain percentage survive the freeze.

I am not sure if some of the drug types are appropriate though.
Antibiotics for example. If someone was prescribed an antibiotic for an infection, read your site and decided to stop taking it after a few days to avoid a side effect while waiting for an appointment with their doctor to find a suitable replacement, then it may increase resistance. Worse, they might stop the treatment and not bother finding any alternative if they feel "better enough".
I agree that discussions on medications are good for the majority of cases but antibiotics should be considered firmly in the domain of the specialists who "should" take into account local resistance rates, etc.
As concerned as I am about the new or novel infectious agents, such as ebola, the largest problem will come from common pathogens that are only treatable with the strongest of antibiotics (that often have more serious side effects).
I think that this is a question that is impossible to answer.
