There are a few other studies on this. Maybe I'm reading these incorrectly so would appreciate your analysis. As far as I can interpret, the pattern is legit. What is especially counter-intuitive (unless you have a negative view of the

Depends on what your definition of "health" is.

You're more right than you think (and less funny). As in many cases, the right person to call in the case of mental distress is a poet.

Lol, I hope you're intentionally misunderstanding me. Otherwise, you should reread it.

In a healthy society, divorce should be difficult, expensive, and rare. Social incentives should be structured to make it less appealing than working on the marriage. Conversely, marriage and children within marriage should be incentivize

There are lots of bad outcomes in a marriage, but many marriages aren't given much of a chance.Anyone who has been successfully married after decades can tell you that it's ups and downs and takes work and there are many moments w

Not sure if there's a branch of talk therapy you are engaged in, but if you look back into the history of the "profession" you might have a good idea of why it got such a bad rap.

Some of us are saying that paying a professional because you just "need someone to talk to" is a situation created, enabled, and perpetuated by this talk therapy culture. Some of us are pointing out the history of this profession

I don't want to upset you but, imho, the so-called "mental health crisis" is, in part, caused by therapy culture . Of course there are people who are deeply disordered and those may need medical or institutional help. But,

This %100. People don't seem to understand how pernicious and subversive the therapy profession is, and how self-replicating. The only point I would correct is the "60 odd years". Its roots go back to the early 1900s and ther

Agree that CBT or other behavioral approaches are preferable and that there are some legit disorders that can't be easily helped. Point is that most people don't need or benefit from therapy, and are more likely to be harmed.

Group therapy is basically like having a mediator in a room to facilitate conversation. It's not quite the same as individual therapy. I'm glad you got some value out of that interaction.

I don't remember seeing many studies about anesthesia doubling the risk of going unconscious like anti-depressants and suicide. Or many situations in which someone just doesn't respond to the anesthesia. That's the track reco

Undoubtedly. Software engineering is a niche activity that takes a certain aptitude for abstract reasoning. Right away you eliminate a lot of people from the candidate pool. What's your argument?

Well, those specialties at least have the benefit of medical science behind them but even so I wouldn't go to any of those specialists for mental health advice. Why are surgeons stereotypically arrogant and lacking in bedside manner? I

that has some cool animation and looks like stuff from when I was a kid or comic books, but what is "unsafe" about it? From the clips online it seems like just the sort of thing that can be made today without ruffling any feathers

What counts as "new and twisted" these days? I guess I'm wondering what sort of thing is being held back from wide audiences because of studio money men rather than just current tastes.

The Criterion Collection has new films? What I see on their site is only classics. Is there a list of newer movies?

Can you recommend interesting "unsafe" shows that, but for the money men, you think would/could be made today? Or are being made but on smaller subsidiaries?

Yeah, ok, it's just something to joke about. Nothing's serious. Nothing matters.

This is good advice. Sadly, many on HN are very pro "mental health professionals". I see the opposite advice proffered frequently. These "professionals" make things worse by pathologizing normal life. Their availability

Not a coincidence. It's significantly more common in the profession[0]. They get divorced at a higher rate, and they recommend divorce to their clients. Therapists and psychiatrists are massively responsible for the divorce rates among
