Everybody wants to be diagnosed with something 🙄
So first 'covid' was the greatest public health threat ever now the teen depression caused by the public health measures to allegedly mitigate 'covid' is the greatest public health threat ever. 😐 I won't comment further for now.
Basically destructive cycles and not enough being done
OPINION 2023: Mental Health is indeed urgent – now more than ever…
And it is everywhere in North America!… – Part of the problem:
1) The Health Care System and/or Social Services are not that much accessible
Depending on ''Who you know!"… and How much you can afford..
2) The Community isn't that much involved anymore…
Specialists are supposed to do the job – using their own ''protocol''…
( It really depends on ''Who you know!''… – And how good is the relationship
with professionals & some Authorities – as some organizations should be replaced too.
3) Funding & Management … ( or more likely fundraising & spending )
As this Crisis is evolving along other crisis – it hasn't become a community matter
any longer but rather a factor of interest as to get richer – powerful – politically viewed..
Communities are also too busy to know & use ''politics'' on a full time basis…
So many so.called ''Coordinators'' sending E.Mails & so little perceptible results..
( If this doesn't show about ''Who you know!" – What will do it? )
Sorry! – But No more from some of these alleged compassionate organizations…
They all need a big clean.up & a straightforward legislation to control THEMSELVES!..
– Funding won't grow miraculously – RESULTS MATTER!…
Greetings from Canada!…
The teen mental health crisis has been ongoing since BEFORE the Pandemic… why'd it take a Pandemic to make people take notice???
The teen mental health crisis has been urgent for years, this is nothing new.
Ever contemplated why this is increasing? Is life tougher, or is social media turning mental health into another diversity theme upon which teens leap to identify with very very loose diagnostic criteria, that are reinforced through media such as this, and podcasts, till they believe they are genuine cases. Gender identification is a scourge that’s gone viral. Has mental health identification joined that scourge?
YouTube spews our content that’s highly addictive. Psychologists, therapists, and counsellors, feed this. Are they drumming up trade? Are they encouraging identification for personal gain?
Psychology lays at the heart of why advertising is so powerful and why social media is so addictive. Is it the dark arts in our technological age? And, if so, should it be restrained in its scope of influence?
Has behavioural modification through psychological tactics caused an increase in mental health? If so, it’s time we stopped listening to these snake oils salespeople.
As urgent as it is, & I know from my son’s suicide the crisis is real, be very careful about hospitals because they will destroy you financially. Having great insurance is a must. For 2 hrs in the Er for whiplash in 2020, my bill was 56 Thousand $$$…. My insurance pd 25k of the bill, the rest is mine. And the greed driven hospital in FL did nothing for me except take pics of my neck & a doc told me I was fine. 😱🥵😱🥵😱. YUP. 56k.
Wait until these kids have to get a job and then they go out medical leave from work because of stress and the short-term disability won’t cover it.
🤳🥶😱…
Where were these people when my generation needed this???!!! (Early millennial). I mean, we didn’t listen to Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Tupac for nothing!!! 🤬🤯 I have to admit.. it hurts. Wow! Thanks, Guys!! 🤦🏾♀️🙏🏾🦋
.. but, I guess I have to be glad that it’s better late than never! 🤷🏾♀️🥺
The low, soft voices speaking about this is creeping me out
Getting off social media will help greatly. I promise y'all.
That is what happens when satanic narrasists take away their future and hope and accept responsibility for nothing.
What your saying it’s now just become urgent, when for years you been having kids shot up schools wake up !!! Guns just make u weak
SMART PHONES 🧠
and this as well – 73 % of teachers openly admit they do not keep their politics out of the classroom. They now incite kids to “take it to the street”
The battle cry of the American Communist Movement – “it’s not a moment, it’s a movement” all the while wearing and flying the color of the Communist Revolution, Red as they use violent disruption with their “No justice No peace” until they get what they want.
Parents – These shootings are the result of people no longer being seen as individuals and being forced to be “community members” instead of being an individual. If kids do not comply with the “group think” then they are not good community members, the kids are labeled as mentally ill and forced into “corrective thinking” and “behavior modification.” This is your American style Socialism/Communism at work.
The “March For Our Lives” “movement” is a perfect example of this, these kids will demand total compliance with their group think. If any kid does not comply, this mob of indoctrinated kids will bully, brow beat, intimidate, harass and threaten any non-compliance kids until they push them over the edge.
Those who attack and try to bully or harass this comment are a perfect example of what this comment is talking about. The condescending attacks you see as replies are what kids are subjected to 247.
