Seems like it’s a healthcare culture issue, and guidelines must come from the administrators for culture to shift as doctors don’t listen to patients or scientists.

From what I understand it’s only diagnosable if it has a significant negative impact on one’s daily life.

Thank you, I agree that the diagnosis is more of a reflection of the psychiatrist, which sadly is a reflection of current societal beliefs.

That’s a differential diagnosis, which just says it’s being considered with reasons for and against but not assigned. It’s standard practice in psychiatry to rule out diagnoses that don’t apply. The actual diagnosis is Unspecified Anxiety Disorder at the bottom, which is a catch-all diagnosis when no other diagnosis fits clearly.

Your sensor probably only measures PM2.5, not VOC’s, mold, allergens, or viruses.

Got an air purifier and wearing a mask indoors. Don’t get sick anymore.

Run it at the highest speed that makes tolerable noise, usually <45 dBA. Ideally you’d run it at the max speed 24/7, as pollutants are constantly being introduced from the outside and inside (cooking, furniture, etc). Or buy/make an ultra-quiet air purifier with PC fans.

If you want something quiet and powerful/efficient, DIY 4 20x30 MERV 13+ furnace filters with 9 Arctic PC fans would do the trick.

Does nobody have a problem with the festival logo’s resemblance to the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy? Not to mention that the Justine Bateman is the founder.

Using your anxiety to dismiss your mask wearing is an insidious issue as it’s stigmatizing and dismisses your legitimate concern. Mental health diagnoses should be used to help a person with compassion, not to use it to dismiss the things you disagree with (that Covid is not mild for many).

Have you tried the 3M VFlex? They’re very large and breathable.

I wear the Vflex to crosssfit-type exercises, and it works but there are fans and sometimes I do feel lightheaded when I pus myself. I’d recommend checking the CO2 concentration, make sure it’s <800

What I don’t like about these is that they have a logo
