Alright smart guy, now explain the Catatumbo lightning

I recall they had to drop the public option after Ted Kennedy died and they no longer had a supermajority in the Senate. To get around a Republican filibuster, they had to rely on a less than ideal version of the bill through the reconciliation process

That's for regular movies, they have lots of special events with different rules. But if you use your phone during a regular movie, Ann Richards is going to pump your guts full of lead

Minus any Twitch involvement, there have been events at Alamo Drafthouse like this for years

Uhh...climate change denial predates widespread internet adoption by quite a bit

Why'd you respond to this guy and not me, who posted a long, professional response ten hours before him? Btw, I agree your take is sexist, because you're basing your view on stereotypes of men and not on any evidence.

When we return to lungfish, we can embrace our gills instead of coming on land and avoid this whole mess

A lot of detailed information on the Wikipedia page. There are a ton of different ways people can come into contact with mercury, and a ton of different formulations of mercury with varying effects. For what symptoms adults may exhibit from the most common form of organic exposure, look no further than RFK Jr., who himself has stated he has mercury poisoning from eating too much tuna:

Due to the body's inability to degrade catecholamines (e.g. adrenaline), a person with mercury poisoning may experience profuse sweating, tachycardia (persistently faster-than-normal heart beat), increased salivation, and hypertension (high blood pressure).

It also causes memory impairment and reduced IQ. RFK Jr. seems to really fit the bill here.

But for something truly terrifying, try dimethylmercury. People can get one drop on their skin, then several months later start developing symptoms, and die within a year. It even soaks right through rubber and latex gloves: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylmercury

After reading this article (without reading the actual study), this is not surprising. It seems like their measure of what constitutes treatment-resistant depression is a failure of two or more antidepressant trials, but it's widely known that depression has multiple etiologies, only one of which is possibly addressed by an SSRI.

For example, they cite right here in the article the comorbidity between personality disorders and treatment-resistant depression. People who have personality characteristics that include e.g. difficulty with emotional regulation, a proclivity for tumultuous relationships, or self-injurious behaviors frequently find themselves struggling with employment, relationships, and more. This makes people feel depressed, and there is no pill that's going to help.

I'd be interested to know the level of comorbidity with trauma history, as well.

Study participants and clinicians offered valuable suggestions for improvement. These included...offering more diverse psychological treatments beyond cognitive-behavioral therapy...

This is clutch. CBT is not going to work for the group described above. People need competently delivered Dialectical Behavior Therapy to learn adaptive skills around emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal communication, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for those with trauma-related anxiety symptoms and who are ready for it.

As a (male) psychotherapist, I really have to disagree with you on all counts. A common goal in psychotherapy is to learn how to recognize and describe your internal experience. Lots of people struggle with this, men and women. Every single person walks into therapy with a different set of circumstances and a different set of objectives, and I've never once heard a single psychotherapist say "therapy is not suitable for all men." That doesn't make sense.

Anecdotally, it is true that men seem less likely to approach therapy with willingness. This is a trend I've noticed, and is by no means a rule. What this demonstrates is a difference in socialization and acculturation between genders, so that men and women tend to "start" psychotherapy in different places in regards to social/emotional development. But psychotherapy as a discipline is absolutely not geared toward women over men.
