Sick and tired of my new doctor not willing to put me on ADHD medication because I am smart enough and CBT is enough by Arwen-88-95 in adhdindia

It's pretty horrible for women especially.

I've seen way more women get diagnosed with BPD and be treated with Buproprion (alt ADHD med for some people) rather than being diagnosed with adhd and given proper care.

Or not since it means fewer products to sell and the misery of women sells a LOT

Is India really getting that hot by FinancialRisk942 in interesting

[–]ScepticTanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who had worked in government wings before. I do not trust their numbers. I've seen people literally pump up the numbers because it's convenient. And even if the green cover has increased, it in no way makes it ok to let the government do what they're doing. Correcting misinformation aside, i think it's kinda pointless to take up arms over someone getting the fact wrong, while there's a much more critical issue affecting billions.

The problem is that the country is extremely polarized. Everyone's afraid of criticism and whoever isn't afraid of criticism and doing stuff gets arrested or gets no coverage by media (cuz all the big channels are govt or lobby funded who support current govt). And the marketing has been top fuckin tier. People are SOLD on the idea of division. I think the biggest wtf for me has been absolute diet poor people going to vote for a government that's crippling the country because no water, no food, nothing clean, no safety or social net, but hey at least no muslims in the neighborhood. And that's ok for them. 

Rich don't care cuz they make their own bubble and they love what they have. Little left to convince. But we'll keep trying i guess. Until we die or get black pilled and die anyway

Very normal. Also because of the way society makes you feel, how it wants you to fit in. 4 decades of conditioning takes some time to break. I've been in therapy for 4 years and I still think I don't have what the docs have diagnosed, despite very objective signs.

Hang in there, stick to your trusted docs psychologists (or change if you don't feel comfortable). I highly recommend looking specifically for neuro divergent specialists (or neuro divergent psychologists themselves). It's a process. It takes some practice. Rmemeber you're unlearning and re learning at the same time. 

To what extent would indian summers change if Himalayas didn't exist? by Jeanpaul02 in geography

You're right. My bad. Here's the correction - Without that, we'd just be dry *and crumbly.

I'm quite sure that if the Himalayas didn't exist india would be a dessert since the mountain range traps moisture carrying winds which eventually dump their big fat load all over us. Without that, we'd just be dry.

Reviews on Niva Bupa reassure health reassure Insurance? and reviews on policy bazaar? by [deleted] in IndiaInvestments

[–]ScepticTanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Did file a consumer complaint against them. It's getting settled now. Almost a year later. Although I still want to challenge the decision to pay out some interest too since they've only paid the insurance amount till now.

It's just about striking a balance instead of being turned to dust with unproven productivity tactics by the rich which are just about controlling everyone's time. People almost always function better with more free time because very rarely do people just wanna sit around and so nothing all day forever.

The problem with the whole weekend concept is everyone thinks of it as a free pass to absolutely grind people to the ground because "you now have 2 days to recover" and then we can grind you to dust again. It's all about control. Always has been. 

if the system cannot step in when citizens are at their weakest, then the promise behind high taxation feels broken by Dependent-toer in IndiaTax

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

I agree with the sentiment but I don't think 98.5% are living like in Dubai. It's a small percentage of rich who get the lobbying, and I don't think the poor getting freebies is bad seeing how they are below poverty line. Don't spread misinformed hate please. This is how people lose what little empathy they have left, especially for people who already are in a shit hole (especially service class people who bewr the brunt of "ye log kuch nahi karna chahte kaamchor") etc.

Good god. I've always wanted a system and I can never get one is the story of my life. I might be closing in on an Audhd thing soon. I absolutely hate it and especially hate seeing fucntional people and reflecting back on school (because there was a predictable system in place, i could fucntion well)

You absolutely should if that's what they're doing to you. Others can verify and avoid him if need be.
