I think it’s ridiculous that society punishes people for being honest about their mental health struggles. I think the number of Americans that suffer from depression and anxiety are staggering yet we can’t help people if they are afraid to seek help. I’m so glad we are finally starting to recognize we need to address this issue.
There are no effective "treatments" for PTSD. The antidote is to get away from the cause for as long as possible and stay that way. Cannabis does lessen anxiety and depression and is good to have around when things get bad. But no matter how good you feel, you will always be more prone to developing symptoms than people who were not traumatized. PTSD is not an illness; or disorder; it is an injury. Most all anxiety or depression cases have environmental causes.
99% of what people call mental health problems are better known as anguish. Anguish has a cause. That cause is not illness or disease; it is injury. The reason for most of the agony in America is our wholly uncivilized society. So it is befitting to have a congress full of mental health issues since they are the very people causing most of it, and they are doing it this way to enrich themselves and their families. A sick congress is called karma.
None of them will cop to being psychopaths or sociopaths, which is why our country is so messed up. Politicians have historically used the term mental health to paint their adversaries as nutjobs; mental health is a catchall phrase that, in everyday use, is meaningless. Psychology is as scientific as religion, voodoo, or new-age homeopathy. When you label everything you do not understand as a "disorder," you are out of order.
Keep your kids out of democrat schools and away from media and government!!!!!
Whatever
Zero sympathy for the corrupt.
Could you stop the religious 'dictatorship' please?
What can be done millions of people and thousands dealing with mental illnesses walking around ,people are going to snap without waring and theres not a dam thing you can do about it not everyone gets help.
when you're woke enough your mental health isn't an issue for democrats
They are so brave for doing this
They pretend not to know.
Koreans are the barbarians.
We have identified which new arrivals is destabilising and undermining the USA !!! These are the rogue countries subverting the US. The rogue countries are, Britain, the Caribbean, Sweden, Holland, France and central America. The companies working with these criminals are Google, Proctor and Gamble and Coca Cola. Our job is to strip them from their green cards, the deport them. Having done this, the 3 companies mentioned, must be given to the American people. They want communism. so fair play, let,s do what they want. Job done, end of.

What Is Wrong With Our Society Today?
If we viewed human society a single live organism, then what would we see?
We would see that, in its current state of development, its immune system is barely working, and its cells and organs, which should be sustaining the body’s health, are deteriorating.
Personal, social, economic and ecological problems are all on the rise, including depression, stress, loneliness, emptiness, anxiety, xenophobia, drug abuse, suicide, income equality, poverty, climate change, and although many people are trying to patch and treat these problems, the efforts fail to solve the problem at its overarching cause.
What is the cause of all problems in human society?
It is the human ego, i.e., the innate calculative mechanism in human nature that prioritizes self-benefit over benefiting others, which makes society’s individual “cells” each pull to themselves more than giving to others, bringing on the downfall of the entire organism of human society.
As cancer takes place when cells take more than they need at the expense of the body, so our society is currently made up of egoists each guided by an enveloping egoistic paradigm that supports the idea of success as becoming individually wealthy, famous and powerful.
That we are egoists is a nature-given situation, but the social influence and public opinion that supports egoistic goals and values is what’s wrong with society.
Nature functions oppositely to the human ego: altruistically and according to laws of interconnection and interdependence. It thus rejects our growing ego, and the more we develop today, the more we feel pressured between our growing ego that wants to detach from others, and nature’s tendency to connect us all into a single whole.
Therefore, the more we develop today, the more we enter into an increasing entanglement of complications, and it is all in order to bring us to the realization that our egoistic nature stands behind all of our problems, that it is an inherently evil quality, that we helplessly follow its demands to try and fill it with self-aimed pleasure at the expense of others time and again, and that any move to improve society requires first diagnosing the ego as the cause of all our problems.
Then, when we reach a widespread realization of this common cause to all our problems, we can start fixing it.
When we reach such an awakening, we will realize that there is no person, group of people, or political or religious orientation to blame for our problems. There is only our very egoistic nature, dwelling in each and every one of us.
How can we then correct human nature, if it is the cause of all our problems?
It is possible if we create an environment that supports the ego’s correction, so that instead of receiving for self-benefit alone at the expense of others, we would want to positively contribute and connect to others in order to benefit them, without any “What will I get out of it?” intent.
It is against human nature to give and contribute to others, but if we changed public opinion, our social and media influences, and also our education, in order that we learn the nature of humanity’s increasing interdependence today, how the human ego opposes our growing interdependence and also why this is the cause of all our problems, and that the way to resolve our myriad problems today is by correcting our connections to each other—creating an environment that supports giving and contributing to society, prioritizing values of mutual consideration and responsibility over competitive and individualistic ideas of success—then we would be on course to a monumental positive social transformation.
if this administration wants another 4. declare war. tanks, artillery troops
they don’t care
❗Citizens of the United States and other NATO countries should know that your governments supply weapons to Ukrainian militants. Who have been shelling peaceful Donetsk for more than 9 years. The Ukrainian army is shelling not only peaceful Donetsk, but also many other small towns. As well as the city of Belgorod and the cities of the Kursk region. The artillery of Ukraine does not spare anyone, neither women, nor children, nor peaceful housing, nor kindergartens and schools. The United States has supplied more than two million shells for army artillery alone. Not to mention other types of weapons. Including anti-personnel mines, which also affect children. Think about it!!! Are the destroyed Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan not enough for you!? And now Ukraine. If you believe your TV, then remember what happened 3 years ago. Do you remember what they told you when they locked you at home?!? If you want to be fools, then believe them further. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJqchJMW9Ok&t=16s
❗Граждане Соединенных Штатов и других стран НАТО должны знать, что ваши правительства поставляют оружие украинским боевикам. Которые уже более 9 лет обстреливают мирный Донецк. Украинская армия обстреливает не только мирный Донецк, но и многие другие небольшие города. А также город Белгород и города Курской области. Артиллерия Украины не щадит никого, ни женщин, ни детей, ни мирное жилье, ни детские сады и школы. Только для армейской артиллерии Соединенные Штаты поставили более двух миллионов снарядов. Не говоря уже о других видах оружия. Включая противопехотные мины, от которых также страдают дети. Подумай об этом!!! Неужели вам недостаточно разрушенных Вьетнама, Югославии, Ирака, Сирии, Ливии и Афганистана!? А теперь еще и Украина. Если вы верите своему телевизору, то вспомните, что произошло 3 года назад. Ты помнишь, что они тебе сказали, когда заперли тебя дома?!? Если вы хотите быть дураками, то верьте им и дальше.
Biden/ Fetterman 2024! It's a no-brainer! 😂

It's like a dam.breaks when people talk about and acknowledge it
It's a harrowing thing to go through. It's good that people are more open and supportive.

I deal with mental health myself. I am happy that someone else is open to having this conversation because in real life there are many of us that has the same issues. Mental Health is REAL!!! Once Former President Regan close the doors on this subject and hospitals we were lost and now here we are having this conversation again. ❤
