No qualified people sometimes or sometimes it's no money or sometimes it's just being in a location where your mouth might say things they don't like too much? Not that that ever happened to me ;-)

This is very common actually across descriptions of which I am aware of around the world in regards to moderate to severe forms of most psychiatric conditions with few exceptions in certain people. The condition can get worse but many go away with age. Use drugs only when needed!

Ha! reminds me of my dev-rel days😂 living mostly above 35,000 ft and out of a suitcase. Talking HTML CSS HTML5 apis JavaScript, web browser compatibility (old I am yes?). We were called technology evangelists which I didn't like. By 2009 it was developer relations. much better!

In the US we major depressive disorder MDD, which is chronic and MDE which is episodic. It lasts a few days or weeks and goes away. Can hit once in a lifetime or many times with Brakes in the pattern. Other conditions of any kind as well as other drugs, prescription, otc, street.

No worries! :-). I strongly agree! Definite use cases. Just usually not long-term or at High doses. A person in a psychotic break could be medicated equally as well with an opiate as any antipsychotic. Psych meds are the puppy uppers and doggie downers of pharmaceuticals LOL

I'm not sure what you mean by use with the watering can? Are you suggesting that the study is grossly negligent or the overuse is grossly negligent or my post was grossly negligent or meant anything untoward about depression or SSRIs. If I were to do so it would be quite clear.

I find that I have to keep learning the new stuff but it builds on the old stuff except for where it turns it around completely which drives me a little nutty and I would say so if I were still involved in css-wg. I and known for questions like how am I supposed to teach that?!

PS I haven't referred to as a pedantic semantic. And the first time I ever ate bacon and could eat it as a kid regularly with Sunday at the IHOP the oh gee style ones with the blue roofs in New Jersey. Kosher bacon for the win!

The Cascade is not taught well, if it's taught at all. It's really just following an ordered list of actions. With an understanding of specificity algorithm which is not that difficult and never was. I happen to be writing about it this week. I'll post somewhere when I'm done!:-)

@siblingpastry of course it seems reasonable! You live in a land where there's no direct to Consumer advertising of pharmaceutical drugs, and no profit incentive made off of them like $17 billion dollars a year to start. Please. europeantimes.news/2022/07/m…

It makes me laugh to think about the word vlog and in retrospect it makes sense that it didn't take off the way the word blog did and neither did audio blog which I don't think ever had a moniker other than podcasting which now means both when podcast referred to audio not video!

I am not talking about medical ethics. If so you can contact every physician, the fda, the study authors and those in Pharmaceuticals which in the US is not ethical by design. I feel I'm ethically bound to share with caveat which I included otherwise messenger not Defender.

I'm glad that you find help and I'm glad that it works truly. Information and studies are information and studies I am not a clinician I don't know what other causes may or may not be involved or conditions but if it helps you great! The point is sharing info to empower not harm.
Replying to @scottgal
Biomedical cause as in singular :-) . Most conditions are multi-causal. This study shows molecular scientists agree low serotonin has no known correlation to depression. SSRIs do work for some people and as such Why break what's been fixed? I share because I truly do care.
"people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence." thehill.com/changing-america… Please do see an informed, aware MD if you are on SSRIs.

If you're getting sleepy and it's not part of a clinical diagnosis I would say maybe you just had a better few hours than normal. Let's hope you get some rest and wake up feeling happy and in less pain as well and that continues as a way of being not a clinical diagnosis.

I don't know you personally but I know a little bit of your history and can't say but only you know where you're at in your process. The description of a pinch of hypomania is odd to me as depending upon the person and condition a pinch of energy, happiness, of improvement?

This is hilarious! From a Blog post about leaving Twitter in 2008! The blog is gone but Twitter? Not gone. The comments? Very interesting perceptions of Twitter then versus now. Not to mention how many are still hanging around despite knowing better 😜 web.archive.org/web/20080108…
