What science are you referring to, your homophobe bro science? HIV prevalence is averages, not individuals. Not all gay men have HIV. If you want a ban on gay men donating due to a higher prevalence of HIV, why are you silent on low-income donors, blacks, Hispanics, and other groups who...

You mean you rather get blood from a gay couple who’ve been in a monogamous marriage for the last 10 years than a donation from a straight guy involved in high risk sexual behavior?

Risk-based assessments definitely make more sense than banning people solely based on their sexual orientation.

Didn’t know he was ever remotely famous. I’ve played an online game together with him and his husband Hale a handful of times. Showed him a cover my kid did of one of his sisters songs. Hale said I was cute. :)

Obviously, he thinks if some 75yo+ doctor who has spent much of his career in administrative roles said something about serotonin in a magazine interview 25 years ago, somehow that discredits the field. I dunno.

As I said, there may have been people who believed this 60-70 years ago. Pharmaceutical companies may have promoted this belief to the general public. There may be some old doctors who made incorrect or overly simplified statements about neurotransmitters in public comments. But I’ve never heard...

After spending 20 minutes sifting through anti psychiatry websites, I finally found this brochure you reference. Sounds pretty noncommittal. Interestingly, the brochure also says Who designed this brochure then? I personally created educational brochures for patients that were...

Looks weak as fuck, as I expected. The evidence from this article, This is not an endorsement of a “chemical imbalance.” It’s simply stating a fact. By whatever biological mechanisms, antidepressants are effective in many patients with severe depression.

Any individual crackpot can say anything. I’m telling you I’ve never been taught or heard (outside laymen conversation) that depression is caused by a lack of serotonin. I’ve never met a single psychiatrist who holds this belief. This seems like a hypothesis from the 50s or 60s that the...

Should be easy to refute then. I’ll wait. Are you saying people who graduate med school are not doctors? Interesting.

A non story.

Being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning is consider part of a normal spectrum of human diversity and not mental illness. This has been the position of major professional organizations for decades. Almost all diagnoses in the DSM require significant distress or impairment as...

I thought that was Frankie Grande. Looks very similar.

I’d eat it but looks overcooked.

You talk like there is no research about risk assessment, role of mental illness in mass murders, the motivations behind school shooters, etc. Most mental illnesses do not increase the risk for violence. While there is a modest increase for severe mental illness, there are other risk factors...

Incidental. A large number of people take antidepressants. 25% of elderly ladies are on antidepressants. It’s not a significant risk factor for violence. You don’t shoot up a school because you have anxiety. There are other risk factors much worthier of attention.

Seems AI could probably replace a lot of lawyer work in the future.

Severe psychiatric illness is involved in around 5% of mass shootings. Not sure why people always think bad behavior = mental illness.

Don’t forget a song about Sherdog’s smartest, most successful, and highest earning poster, Dr Lubaolong.
