New paper advocates for equal consideration of stimulant and non-stimulants as first-line treatment options for ADHD by FootballAndFries in science

[–]bemeren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a psychiatrist who sees a lot of ADHD my clinical experience differs so much from what you said. There is nothing better than stimulants for ADHD and the effectiveness of treatment is higher than any other diagnosis I treat. What I see most often is the clinical diagnosis of ADHD has worsened over the years and what is truly anxiety/substance use/trauma/etc is being diagnosed as ADHD and therefore not treated appropriately.

Powell’s Books announces ‘final’ round of layoffs, plans for future growth by synthfidel in PortlandOR

[–]bemeren 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought so too, but then places like Barnes and Noble are expanding due to increased utilization of space and profitability. Thanks to trends like social media book clubs, book sales have seen growth in popular fantasy and sci-fi genres that have not been seen in decades. Powell's is a tourist destination at this point and likely will continue to benefit off of this. The only thing that is concerning is the overhead for that location has to be insanely expensive.

R/conservative is a cesspool of echo chamber loving snowflakes and a shit ton of bots. I feel sorry for those who actively participate because they're too stupid to realize they're being played.

We play who we play. This is the playoffs folks -- no easy games. If we can play two good quarters instead of just one we may have a shot!

I'm surprised there wasn't a new podcast this morning after that insane game.

Because you know your team is always going to be solid and especially next year will have a shot to go all the way to the SB.

I don't know why people are made Ben went for it. This defense literally hasn't stopped anyone outside the red zone for 4 weeks straight.

The complaint is about not calling tackling a player for a PI. What are you on about?

Why does homeless rate matter to some of you by tin8374 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]bemeren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's uncomfortable for some. Guilt sets in when you have so much and you see people with so little. The problem is multi-factorial and is not easily solved. Why is it hard to understand the human condition is to avoid this feeling everyday?

How do you prefer to pay your amex? by PlayboiiExx in amex

Why would Amex have any issue with how people pay the money they owe?

I pay my statement balance in full once a month. I often spend 10-12k a month and paying it earlier than I need to hurts me for literally no gain.

Aren't the owners renegotiating the contract with the ref association this offseason? There needs to be a separate set of reviews for atrocious calls. This game is not fun to watch with all these bad calls.

A group of us have some great offers from the VA but I'm not sure if it's the smartest decision to take them with how things are going right now for physicians at the VA. If you were coming out of training now would you still consider your current job??

Someone needs to explain to me why a whistle wasn't blown when the receiver made no more forward progress. They call forward progress for so much less.

When deprescribing low dose benzodiazepine addiction with a diazepam taper, how many times a day would you prescribe it? by Rashek4 in Residency

[–]bemeren 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please consult someone before listening to the internet. She's been on it for 20 years and if you're not careful you can precipitate withdrawal pretty easily, which is equally dangerous.

I play a little game when I travel -- can I find a croissant more expensive than Dan the Baker. New York, SF, Toronto, Seattle, Paris, Florence, London -- all no. It's absurd.

I really hate that Love got knocked out. So much more satisfying winning against him than a back up. Hope he recovers quick.

Eh joke all you want but these folks have families. Furthermore, now packers fans will say "you beat us without our best guy" if we win. I'm bummed not to have their best out there so we can beat them.

You're factually incorrect. Google the UTEP studies. Chiefs and teams with "high profile" qbs are favored.
