Like most people in his profession, 35-year old stockbroker Michael Randwick is a busy man. While he gets paid well for his efforts – he drives a new Mercedes C-class, after all – Michael works in a high-pressure environment most of the day. When he isn`t busy trading shares, he phones his high-profile clients to ensure they are kept up to speed regarding their investments.

His job has taken its toll on his personal life, with him divorcing his high-school sweetheart. Shortly thereafter, he suffered an episode of anxiety that was successfully treated. He has subsequently remarried and now has two highly energetic sons that vie for his attention. It seems Michael has put the troubles of the past behind him and has built a good life for himself and his family.

However, several months ago the weak exchange rate and high oil prices saw the local stock market take a hammering. Michael started to feel depressed. Not only was he unhappy with the way things were going at work, he also started to suffer from insomnia and a diminished appetite that saw his energy levels drop. Long hours spent at work and lethargy meant he could not spend as much time playing with his sons as he used to. He also experienced a lowering of libido, a cause of much frustration for him.
