Anyone who suffers from what? Why is St John’s Wort good for it? I will never watch this type of video, but it sure does sounds like whatever affected @physics

Anyone who suffers from what? Why is St John’s Wort good for it? I will never watch this type of video, but it sure does sounds like whatever affected @physicsgirl was awfully serious if it left her non-ambulatory for multiple years. It sounds like maybe you’ve had a positive experience that you might be willing to elaborate on?

  > And what's with this HN pattern of acting all innocuous and going "uh... care to elaborate a little further? hmm?? hm???" The 'pattern' is that comments are supposed to provide some value and not just generic statements. The HN community overall doesn't want the comment section to turn into a Facebook comment style section. So if you're going to comment, at least have something to back it up or give something that contributes to the quality of the discussion.

  If you advertise/recommend something it is your obligation to make the case for it. Not for the reader to research it. We should want this board to keep its high information value, not devolve into low information spam.

    Recommendation to research something still can be useful. I didn't word it right. It should have been something like: "Add it to your list and research it if you're out of options". It helped me with some weird condition years ago which could have been depression but it had zero symptoms other than severe chronic fatigue, so maybe it wasn't.

  The comment they were criticizing had basically nothing to do with the video. Aim your own critique upstream because that's the source of the problem.

  I have to thank you. I did as you suggested, for concerns similar to those you described, and the difference has been night and day. I went into it skeptical, and your recommendation has been super helpful already. I’m very grateful.
