I used to work for a nonprofit psych hospital in a city where there's also an Acadia hospital. We hired a ton of their staff who started working there well-intentioned but quickly fled after they witnessed how it was run. Patients would tell us horror stories and tell us how grateful they were they didn't end up there. We'd see patients who discharged from there just a few days prior who were still psychotic as fuck, and we'd treat them ethically and they'd actually get better. They'd leave the Acadia hospital with basically no discharge plan, a lot of times their families weren't even told where they'd been released to or that they'd been released at all.

Anyone know where to watch the original? I have yet to give this sequel a try for some reason

I agree with all that, I just don't agree with William Dodson, M.D., LF-APA. I tried to look up the "LF-APA" credential, btw, because I've never heard of it, and William Dodson appears to be the only person on the internet who has it. Anyone know what it indicates?

Psychotherapy does not particularly help patients with RSD because the emotions hit suddenly and completely overwhelm the mind and senses.

Hard disagree from me, dawg. Rejection sensitivity is a super common target behavior in psychotherapy treatments like DBT and RODBT, and it's super treatable with those modalities. This article saying "only drugs work" is uninformed and misleading

Tim Walz had a great interview the other day where he talked about how when you get specific all MAGA arguments break down. They're riding on vibes here, not ideas.

Anyone looking to dive into a Queen album, might I recommend A Night at the Opera?

I gotta say, whether or not your intentions are positive, your presentation is confrontational and petty. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, btw

Totally agree with your first point, at least. These companies spend way more to influence legislators and regulators and to try to pay less taxes. $8 million is an afterthought to them. Tyson alone had $53 billion in revenue in 2022.
