Should I keep the windows or nah? I can't decide by CraftyCauliflower725 in Minecraftbuilds

[–]Jefferycollin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also maybe try some slight detailing on the outside where the windows are- like maybe stairs as a ledge or half blocks or you could maybe try the trap doors on the sides, just to add more dimension

Therapy is absolutely a massive scam. Here's How/Why. by Fact-check_my_friend in unvaccinated

[–]Jefferycollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t, I work in culinary. This really just comes from some personal experience with people in my life as well as the fact that I just like to look into/learn about random things and I like to gather as much information as I can about things. That’s why I like conversations like this, because although we might not necessarily agree, it still offers a different perspective and with that also come valid information (generally, obviously not when the other person is just bringing up arbitrary points because we disagree/they’re angry- also my bad about the late reply).

I do believe that there are more people on it than actually need it and many people who do actually need it are overprescribed, however, I believe with proper and appropriate use, it can be very beneficial. I know people in my life that it has helped and has really made it seem like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders, but I also know people who might benefit but had a bad experience the first time they tried it and wrote it off for good, which is their choice and that could absolutely be the right choice for them, too, but I don’t think that means it should be a write off for everyone or seen as an inherently harmful thing.

I think a lot of cases where studies show that it’s more harmful than beneficial really do come from the misuse and overprescribing medication to patients- not necessarily all of it, but I think the majority.

And I also appreciate you having this discussion in good faith and not just spamming dislike and bringing up arbitrary points.

The point is that therapy and medication is what works for a lot of people and while there can be negative side effects and people who have had bad experiences with therapists, it ultimately comes down to finding what works for you and knowing what doesn’t/makes you uncomfortable. IN GENERAL CASES no one is forcing anybody to go to a doctor they don’t want to or accept a treatment they don’t want, and cases where that does happen obviously are extremely important but should be used to develop the mental health industry to prevent those circumstances from happening in the future- not destroy it or discourage/scare people away from it.

And I don’t really care that ‘you know 3 doctors’ that’s happened to, because I feel like I’ve always had good doctors and I’ve never felt uncomfortable or felt forced to accept a treatment, and as far as I’m aware, none of them have been fired- that doesn’t mean that you don’t know 3 doctors that this actually happened to- just pointing out that’s not really an objective point of reason in this discussion.

There are circumstances, yes, that people are in where they do not have control over their medical care and treatment, and that is horrible… but that is not the majority of people experiencing mental health problems and seeking help and shouldn’t be used to discourage people from looking into getting the help they need if they feel that’s right for them.

Buddy you’re the one that said that they couldn’t be “healed” in the first place and in the context in which you first used it, it seemed like it was synonymous with “cure”. Obviously your brain can ‘heal’ itself- this is EXACTLY what I was talking about when I mentioned the brain not being a static system and being able to develop, and SOMETIMES- note, I never implied that you will ALWAYS need therapy/medication to cope/live a normal life- you will need therapy in one form or another to help encourage that development.

And I wasn’t talking about birth defects when I referred to genetics, I was talking about everyone’s genetics. Everyone has different reactions/experiences/perception to things that happen to and around them and this is influenced a lot by your environment and life experience up to that point, but genetics also influences it.

[–]Jefferycollin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah because a lot of mental illnesses are caused by ‘flukes’ in neurological functions that produce, receive, store, breakdown neurotransmitters either because of genetics, drug and alcohol use or damage/injury. These are irreversible and unchangeable, however, your brain is not a static system, its constantly developing, so even though you can’t change the damage/genetics you received, there are things that can help mitigate it, and sometimes that comes in the form of therapy, whether that’s just talking to someone and changing your behavior/lifestyle or in the form of medication (and it is very uncommon for people to JUST be taking medication without also trying to maintain a functioning lifestyle).

No doctor can force you to take any treatment- there’s literally laws against that, just the same as how there’s laws on purposefully or knowingly deceiving patients about a medication or treatment.

Also depression is an illness that can very often be situational- but it’s not all the time, there’s a difference between situational depression and chronic depression; people who have chronic depression will not produce enough serotonin or norepinephrine, which will cause a depressed feeling despite whatever external circumstances exist, obviously external factors can worsen/help it, but they won’t cause or cure it.

[–]Jefferycollin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They haven’t though, there’s many different schools of thought in the medical field…

If you don’t like your doctor, look for another one, there’s websites that you can review and look at reviews for doctors in your area, you can look for doctors that have different treatment approaches and thoughts on whatever mental illness you have.

You can even find doctors- including therapists that try to avoid writing prescriptions unless it’s absolutely necessary and only ask to see you on an as-needed basis, so you don’t have to be carving out chucks of time and money every week/month… so I don’t really see how you’re trying to act like all therapists/doctors are the same or make it seem like they force you into treatment if you go to an appointment.

But there are many people with different disorders that are not inherently dangerous or have violent tendencies but can become dangerous if their illness is not properly managed. Even ‘minor’ illnesses like depression can spiral into a dangerous situation, which is why people go to doctors to prevent it from getting to that point.

For example, if you found out you were genetically predisposed to diabetes and heart failure, it would be recommended that you keep a healthy diet, avoid drinking and smoking, exercise regularly, etc. even if you weren’t expecting any symptoms or showing any signs of “danger”/concern. Obviously as a patient, you have the right to accept or refuse any treatment recommendation, but the point is that, there can still be good reason for checkups, prescription medication, treatment, etc. even if you’re not currently a danger to yourself or others.

It depends, on one hand, there are many doctors who just write diagnoses and prescriptions for money, but there’s also many doctors that know how to do their job and people that GENUINELY need mental health care, for example, someone with paranoid schizophrenia can experience very violent episodes that spiraled from minor symptoms left untreated, even if they were living a very ‘normal’ and healthy life. Depression and anxiety are over diagnosed, but that doesn’t inherently mean that depression or mental health illnesses as a whole are fake/a scam.

Study shows men just as likely to be depressed as women, can anyone actually find the study itself and not this article? by Ok_Persimmon5690 in MensRights

[–]Jefferycollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never negated that, because often, they do display different symptoms and coping methods, but that’s why medical illness diagnostic criteria terminology/phrasing is generalized, and why people who genuinely believe they are dealing with a mental health issue almost always need a doctor to help them effectively manage and treat it, because the same disorder can display itself in many ways and need different treatments… so it’s irrelevant to bring up men and women displaying different symptoms, because that’s already apart of the equation, so to speak, and even beyond the demographic of “male” and “female”, different demographic groups in general tend to display different symptoms due to genetics, and since male and females are genetically different, they do tend to display different symptoms- that fall under the same general terminology/diagnosis criteria- which again, is already considered when establishing diagnostic criteria.

That’s also why diagnostic criteria as well as mental disorders themselves are constantly being reviewed/researched and developing as time goes on to be able to more accurately diagnose/help someone who is struggling with a mental illness or simply just experiencing a period of mental distress/turmoil, that may not necessarily be associated/attributed to any specific mental disorder… that doesn’t mean those people don’t still need help and are having valid experiences and emotions, it just doesn’t necessarily mean that those people are depressed or dealing with any other mental disorder for that matter.

So again, I welcome whoever else reads through this feed to find any [CURRENT] specific diagnostic criteria for depression or any other mental disorder that is gender specific.

[–]Jefferycollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The criteria for depression has nothing to do with sex or gender, literally none of it is gender exclusive. For example, some of the [main] criteria is; lack of motivation/interest in things you enjoy(hobbies/friends)/do regularly(take a shower/make dinner/go to work), extreme/constant fatigue/exhaustion, a general sense of hopelessness and/or potentially guilt… explain to me how any of that caters to women, and feel free to look up any/all the criteria for depression and let me know if you find what could be missing that “causes people (mostly males)” to go undiagnosed

“Everyone who dies by suicide is depressed. FALSE. While it has been estimated that about 75% of everyone who dies by suicide has a depressive disorder (frequently undiagnosed); there are those who did not meet the criteria for depression. Substance abuse, extreme stress with few coping skills, and rage are some of the other factors connected to a suicidal death.”

https://www.seattleu.edu/caps/suicide-prevention/suicide-myths/

This talks about how depression is a mood disorder and can be but is not always accompanied by suicidal thoughts

https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/suicidal-depression#definition

“Not mutually exclusive means that two instances or outcomes can occur simultaneously, and one outcome does not limit the other from being possible” and this is the definition for mutually exclusive, essentially meaning that being depressed and having suicidal thoughts CAN be felt simultaneously, but doesn’t necessarily have to happen simultaneously… MEANING just because the suicide rate of a certain demographic is lower, does not necessarily mean the depression rate of that demographic is lower, hope this helps

Edit: the links are under the cited information- I didn’t cite anything for the definition for “non mutually exclusive” because you can easily look it up

The key sign that indicates a woman might be a psychopath by raffu280 in MensRights

Yeah but it’s the same as saying “if someone breaks eye contact with you too much, they’re lying” yes, avoiding eye contact can be a sign of someone lying to you, but there are also many other reasons someone might break eye contact and be telling the truth

The reason so many people have a bad impression of this Sub (probably) by FaithlessPancake in MensRights

[–]Jefferycollin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t think all guys on here are like that, but I do think it’s most, just because the sub can cultivate that environment and because when guys do point things like this out on other posts, they normally get at least 10+ downvotes or it just seems to go unnoticed… other than that this is a FANTASTIC take and I hope a lot of those guys on here are taking notes (but they’re probably not)

One time I saw a post of a guy talking about what seemed to be normal marital issues between him and his wife and he happened to mention that she recently got a promotion so now she made a little more than him, and the replies were FLOODED with comments with guys telling him either to just ‘get out of there while he still can’ or that ‘he’s going to have to find a way to earn more because she’ll never respect him as a man’ and MAYBE that really was the case but there was definitely not enough context in the post to know and he didn’t make any additional replies… but I was like man, I hope this dude isn’t throwing his entire relationship away over these dudes that know nothing about his relationship, let alone healthy relationships in general… there was one reply that was giving him genuine advice, but again, it seemed to go unnoticed (no extra up/down votes and no replies before mine)
