The coddling is a big problem these days, and this focus on mental health is itself unhealthy. The assessment that "they would otherwise do well" is speculative, at best.
- jasonlotito 2mo ago> this focus on mental health is itself unhealthy. Yes. We should ignore things like school shootings, which have long been described as the result of mental health issues. Ignore PTSD. Soldiers can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. By all means, ignore the mental health of a rape victim or a child abuse victim. They can just tough it out. Clearly, that's the better strategy. Oh, and you've been working in this field for how long?

- jasonlotito 2mo agoDo you think igaf? I called out your BS POV. > I was not going to engage Then don't.
- naasking 2mo agoYou need to do some reading: "Is raising mental health awareness causing more harm than good?", https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/analyst-comment/is-raising-mental-health-awareness-causing-more-harm-than-good/ https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/analyst-comment/is-raisi...
