"Your rude attitude" Ha! You should meet a monk sometime? Wrong audience, yes. Rude? Ha! So what! It exposes the people who are still attached to their ego. If you do not understand it is just you who does not understand. Misinter

"How do you conflate not existing before birth to not existing after death?" How can you not? Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Do you know of anyone who told you what it is like to be dead? If we do not know

Debian Stable is the last great linux distro. I keep trying to go back to Fedora or Ubuntu but they are so damn buggy. And as someone living with OCD (the real thing) the whole Snap thing just makes me so anxious. And like you experienced,

You say bipolar is atypical, but you are wrong. I can go months with no symptoms, just like people with headaches can go months without one. Then I have a trigger; stress, diet, pollution, etc. and I have never said that my fix was for ever

In no way do I think my symptoms are normal and just different. What I am saying is that what causes my symptoms is a different response to a similar environmental input that most people do not react to, ie, diet. I want you to consider it

I agree with you, depression alters the immune system and the immune system can cause depression. But it is through the immune system that we feel the effect. "momentary disruption isn't considered a disorder" By definition i

What about all the other things that might affect their immune system? Have they ruled them all out? Latent viral or bacterial infection? Allergies? Diet? Look at diet and Omega 6 consumption, that alone will screw with the immune system an

I agree, and this is why I say the majority of mood disorders are environmental, even ones as bad as mine.

Thank you. Yes, a strawman and so frustrating since I literally have the metabolic and genetic proof that I found out what was causing my mood disorder. And as a result the doctors are providing better and different treatment. This what thi

The idea that it take weeks for antidepressants to reach 'effective levels" is a misunderstanding of the science. It is is true for MOST people that, for example, fluoxetine and its metabolite, norfluoxetine will be at a certain l
