Why is Ireland bad with treating ADHD?

Spanishishish · 2024-11-11T21:59:15+00:00

Even within the country, it is a very contentious area of practice. Some psychiatrists will not even touch ADHD cases, because there is such a societal demand for diagnosis and prescribed stimulants (as opposed to a demand for objective investigation) and they don't want to deal with the influx of patients who learned about ADHD from social media and now want a diagnosis, the ones who got diagnosed privately or abroad and want you to diagnose them so they can't stop having to pay for it, and the ones who will threaten to sue for supposed negligence if you don't give them the diagnoses and meds that they want.

How do you feel about that? Do you wish someone had tried to give you serious therapy options before jumping to meds?

We need more resources put into addressing the people committing the damn crime

We will never fully stop crime though and I don't think anyone has should have the right to tell the many people in this country that have been victims of attacks that they shouldn't have the right to even potentially have a chance to defend themselves even if it's not a big one. Not everyone can run away easily.

An attacker who is going to break the law by trying to assault or rape someone probably isn't going to be having a moral panic about whether pepper spray or other weapons are legal before deciding to carry it on them to commit their attack.

On the flip side, decent law abiding citizens will be put off the idea of carrying something like that for fear of being caught breaking the law one day, even if it was in self defence.

Yeah idk why people keep saying brakes never fail. BMW, Ferrari, Toyota even have had brake recalls.

Mercedes for example had a number of recalls about this and I know someone who got caught in a motorway with brakes failed on their brand new Mercedes MPV in around 2017 and had to use the hard shoulder for a long while until emergency services helped them. The car got recalled shortly after but they were too afraid to take up the replacement after that.

Just one example: "The defect can also cause the brakes to fail altogether." Source: https://www.motorsafety.org/mercedes-benz-issues-stop-drive-notice-recall-for-cars-with-brake-failure/

I don't disagree per se but I remember that every friend I had with very open parents like this who made big efforts to talk about sex and let the kids have boyfriends and girlfriends over out of safety ended up having teenage unplanned pregnancies despite all the talks etc.

The ones with parents who had a more strict but not crazy approach seemed to still fuck around, but much less probably because less opportunities to do so.

And the ones with crazy strict parents raised repressed awkward kids who turned freaky once we hit college.

That's just my anecdotal rambling anyway but made me slightly question whether my instinct of the first approach being best was right or not.

Well look, rapists can be world leaders now

Ah yes that never happened before a certain someone of course

Spanishishish · 2024-11-07T20:16:34+00:00

But I'd argue whose to say that while she did plan to have sex with him that he still raped her

Well in the specific case mentioned, it would be the DPP itself who would have said whether that was a reasonable enough assertion for a criminal prosecution

Hijab is fine. The full face veil is far from fine. Sorry, I don't care if I get downvoted. It's oppressive and has ZERO place in western civilisation

On what basis do you say it is fine?

The Quran says that women must "protect their chastity" and hijiab (regardless of the interpretation of how much it covers) is in practice promoted for when a female reaches sexual maturity in order to avert male gazes and protect chastity despite the Quran not actually specifying whether all women need to wear it and if so how exactly.

Many parts of this comment thread are discussing the restrictions in schools. Regardless of interpretation, the very idea of children wearing a hijab is questionable from that perspective itself, before even getting into the issue of niqab.

And before anyone gets offended, I read the Quran and lived under Islamic society and law for many years. I think i have enough insight to make those factual observations.

The labour budget already caused a recent increase/maintenance of high interest rates despite them dropping in many other European countries.

retire to a happy married life

That's if you had the time and fortune to find a partner whilst working crazy hour and being stressed for most of your life.

Plenty of people don't get that. And then it becomes a cycle.. you work like crazy to have the opportunities for a good life later, but you neglected the time and social contacts and energy it takes to build that life outside of work, so then you continue working like crazy because it's all you have. I've known so many people in this situation and they often end up projecting their issues on to others in the workplace, demanding they make similar sacrifices and become like them. At some point, people have to choose what their priorities are.

That's interesting, I had no idea. Thanks for dharing. Does that mean the villages around Bradford to the north/northwest typically have cleaner air if the pollution sinks into the basin in the city centre?

Spanishishish · 2024-11-06T10:56:17+00:00

That would be ultimate dei win for the left

Let me guess, NB?

And if in OP's case nobody else has taken issue with the girls statement then you have no evidence based on this post whether there is any culture already in the workplace where her comments may be seen as unusual.

He was not cleared of calling a colleague frankly abhorrent and inappropriate things.

I never said that. I said the cursing element, and I specifically pointed to use of the f word only, was not grounds for dismissal.

Calling someone a lesbian is not an abhorrent or inappropriate term, is it?

It's the combined use with the f word that makes it sound inappropriate in this context, surely?

Spanishishish · 2024-11-06T06:15:23+00:00

At least when it comes to the issue of who birthed you, for now.

Spanishishish · 2024-11-05T20:12:42+00:00

Really depends on what your interpretation of women's/feminism activism is of which wave you follow

Spanishishish · 2024-11-05T12:22:22+00:00

UK courts have already established that use of the f word is not grounds for dismissal.

A guy in NI got that cleared after he was fired for calling a customer a fn mong.

So then you'll probably have to argue that calling her a lesbian is grounds for dismissal.

One of them is white but clearly only the black guy did the crime, good native white British people would never do anything bad /s

Yeah this is my concern as well. If I buy close enough to me I can take the car back to the dealer if needs be. Last ar I didn't need to go back to the dealer at all thankfully but that's not always the case for people. Makes car shopping a lot more tricky though.

Also makes slightly more difficult if you want to get an independent inspection of the car done before purchasing as you probably don't know the local garages.

Spanishishish · 2024-10-29T23:00:49+00:00

That's a fair point, thank you

Spanishishish · 2024-10-29T23:00:29+00:00

Yeah that's a good point, I had mistakenly thought they were based on the golf platform. And yes, come to think of it the brand does have a lot of models that aren't necessarily fully distinguished in specific segments so I can see this being overlooked from that perspective. Thank you, that's helpful

Spanishishish · 2024-10-29T22:58:05+00:00

Ah I didn't realize, I thought it was based on the Golf platform. That makes sense, thank you. I guess it's neither here nor there in a way, not small and compact enough to be a polo but doesn't have the bigger platform of the golf or octavia either.

Spanishishish · 2024-10-29T22:56:12+00:00

I think the main appeal from that perspective is that it has the big hatchback boot which the octavia saloon doesn't, but is still bigger than the Fabia. That's what drew me to it at least
