I'd be happy to find a website like OP's. Google's output is trash, it is unreliable, and it is an inferior product compared to the Google of the past - hopefully competition will push them to improve/remove the AI slop

Thanks so much for that. I appreciate the honesty and clarity of the authors in presenting their findings. Upon a very, very brief read it still seems difficult for them (in my opinion) to find that schizophrenia is primarily genetic in nat

I'll take a look when I get some time, thanks so much for sharing the link. And no, I'm so sorry about the misunderstanding and I know you're in good faith, but in my initial comments, I was more or less adding details to wha

I think our laws largely in this area (involuntary commitment) reflect how hostile a particular state or geographic location feels towards their homeless population and other undesirables as you suggest. Psychiatry is used to get these peop

I invite you to read my other postings in this thread and respond to me in your leisure. It's clear we have a fundamental difference of opinion, and I think a productive discussion could be had between us despite that. I have a very op

Of course, I do think there should be some effort to be made to stabilize individuals in crisis. Just like a typical hospital. Especially those who may be having medication side-effects, which with psychiatric medication, incidence rates fo

What makes fMRI objective proof when the mental illnesses are largely subjective? One psychiatrist could see a patient completely differently from another. You either have Alzheimer's or you don't. Your arm is broken or it isn&#x2

Citation needed. I'm not aware of any studies that highlight differences in brain structure of a "healthy" brain vs. a brain of somebody who has unmedicated first-episode schizophrenia/psychosis. If somebody took anti-ps

Exactly. It's scary to think that a simple screening could dictate how you are treated for the rest of your life effectively. You're declared a "latent schizophrenic" and people start doubting your credibility, sanity, i

I recommend you check out the Direct Primary Care model and share your thoughts. This model is not to be confused with Concierge Medicine, which largely suffers from the same problems you identified about Functional Medicine doctors. I just

I've commented on the past on Direct Primary Care practices - it's a different model of care that is rapidly growing; you can read my previous thoughts on this model here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33682

It's high time that we stopped worrying about what's deemed expensive, and worry about what we can do to make the planet and its people healthier and happier; and their lives more fulfilling. We have the technology and means to do

Everybody should have access to all modes of transportation that are sustainable and comfortable to them and the people around them. Transportation should be accessible. Period. Be it high speed rail, car, bus, e-bike, e-scooter, etc. As lo

The main problem I can see with this is that international law is something that IMO is still in its infancy. International law is also something that usually isn't respected all that much by the major players of the world. And you can

I just want to say that while we probably do have some fundamental differences of opinions, I am a bit puzzled when you suggest that I am indoctrinated or otherwise brainwashed. I assure you that, in fact, I am very aware in general of how

I really want to live in a world where doing what's good for the Earth and the people around you is not only the natural response to a problem, but something that is rewarded in a meaningful way. Unsung heroes definitely have shaped th

Are there laws against collaborating with other shareholders/investors to push an agenda (e.g. green energy)? Just as strikes by employees cause major companies to bend, I'd imagine the same would be true if there was a consensus

If you are not an active investor in any shape or form - e.g. shaping the company/suggesting how things could be more sustainable, then you're just in it for the money/playing a game. You're not an active participant fun

The entire paradigm for treating schizophrenia and other chronic mental states is flawed. Mental distress/disorder cannot be treated properly because of the strong for-profit motive (unrestricted greed) that these privately-owned (some

I'd say if you rolled the clock back a few hundred years, or even just to post-WW2 (50's/60's/70's) rural America, you would find that there would be a lot of people who would effectively function as empaths to

What do you make of the thus-far success of the Soteria Houses/paradigm? I think the proponents of this method of treatment and practitioners involved would argue that schizophrenia is not a lifelong disease, and true improvement is po

I've been very pleased with my experience at a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. They limit the amount of patients that they take, don't deal with insurance companies, charge a flat fee monthly (no payment required for most proc

You're ignoring what the commenter is addressing: a corporation, and a particularly insidious one at that. It's easy to feel powerless and frustrated in a world where corporations (in this case a blatant monopoly) make decisions t

UI customization is fortunately still alive in the wake of XUL extensions. A /r/firefoxcss mod has a wonderful collection of code snippets that they maintain, which you can browse here: https://mrotherguy.github.io&#x2F
