No. People do not see a psychologist for the rest of their lives. They see a psychologist to find a means to handle their issues, and then get on with their lives.
The real dependency is the absurd belief that taking the latest pill that was only tested under controlled circumstances, which for most people will never be replicated when it is prescribed en mass, is going to be remotely similar.
The real dependency is the BULLSHIT belief that seeing a psychologist means you're a patient for life - THAT TROLL assertion is groundless and absurd.
Now go take your pills, which will "work" for a few months, then stop "working", and then take ANOTHER pill, which will "work" for a few months, then stop "working", and accept that you're a "patient" for the rest of your life, with a bona fide "medical condition".
Cheap shit "food" that makes you fat and constantly craving more of it.
Vs. Good, healthy food, and the time to properly prepare it and have some sort of relationship with exactly what it is you shove into your face, and having some degree of AWARENESS how it makes you feel and what it is doing TO you.
Poor people holding down shit jobs, trying to raise kids, tired all the time, no time to make really good meals or to shop for and be able to buy good food stressed out - a recipe for bad health.
Not that there aren't plenty of unhealthy wealthy people, too. Nutritional poverty in America cuts across class and makes us ALL the poorer, because it's a unsustainable and expensive unhealthy way of (corporate controlled) life.
People under emphasize the addictive properties of so much of what passes for "food" in our culture, which is primarily a PR/corporate advertised culture.
Counting carbs is such a huge fallacy. It's how your specific metabolism handles a specific "food" that matters. Some people don't have any real issue with cheap shit "foods" high in carbs, or at least they don't pack on the pounds of fat when they eat them. Other people should NEVER eat the same stuff. Try taking away someone's pizza or whole wheat whatever, much less their favorite crap "foods", and you'd think you suggested drowning a baby.
It's easy to make crap because crap is generally cheap and convenient. Food is just something to shove into your face and enjoy, not something you've got any kind of intimate relationship with, spending time to prepare and understand how it impacts you personally.
Carbs are only part of the problem; look at all the soybean oil and other cheap shit oils in "food". The body processes oils/fats differently than carbs, differently than proteins. Look at all the stuff with soybean oil in it. Granted, most of it's full of carbs and sugar and crap people shouldn't be eating anyway, but it just goes to show how 90% of the garbage marketed to us as "food" is crap.
The people who cry the loudest that they are persecuted for being obese are very rarely people who have any kind of healthy relationship with their food. They buy a lot of convenient, cheap crap, shoot it up, get high, crash, and start the whole cycle over again. This is their "normal", and it's what the US food industry thrives on.
I see you keeping track of the things you know you need to, but I wonder if you've considered that there are just some foods that you shouldn't ever eat at all...
I don't see how taking a new diet drug, which is what this article is about, is going to change your underlying condition. I'm not even certain that any of the new diet drugs are not contraindicated for people with type-1 diabetes. Personally, I wouldn't trust my physician if I had your condition and he attempted to prescribe me a new diet drug.
There are specific foods that you can't have. Ever. I suspect you know what they are already, but just can't seem to replace them with the foods that aren't a problem. Without exception this is the real issue with people living with type-1 diabetes.
I'm almost certain stating this fact probably makes you want to throw me in that pit with the healthy people who are aggressive and passionately motivated about their own health to make the necessary sacrifices to maintain it. It doesn't change the facts. People manage to accomplish what you claim you can not do all the time. You aren't ready to do it, fine. That's YOU, in YOUR OWN HEAD. There will always be some drug company ready to exploit you because of this, and there will always be some doctor that reluctantly lets you have the latest pill that he knows isn't going to help you long term one damn bit.
Find out what specific foods you can't have anymore. You'll know, because after you eat them your levels will be a fucking mess. Yeah, it means testing your levels A LOT. Yeah, it's hard to do. It isn't impossible, it's what you NEED to do.
You ARE whining, and you have a right to, it sucks. You also have a right to put people down who actually have managed to succeed. Does that make you feel good about not trying, about accepting you're helplessness ?
New drugs pushed through the FDA's pharmaceutical company corrupted processes are viewed, and rightly so, with caution and skepticism by competent physicians.
Treating symptoms with drugs is big business.
Nobody knows exactly HOW these new "diet drugs" work. Nobody knows the long or even relatively short-term consequences of putting a million people on these drugs.
Drug companies spin and do PR CONSTANTLY, and aggressively.
Implying that primary care physicians don't drug people enough ( a ridiculous and OUTRAGEOUS assertion, as we are the most drugged-up nation on earth), like this article does, and ignoring the inconvenient facts about these new drugs, the HUGE unknowns, THAT is pure PR fluff.
Taking a pill does nothing to address sedentary lifestyles and dietary alterations that are absolutely essential to maintain optimal health.
You have some influence on how you view yourself, what you are. Not everybody should just automatically accept that they need to be a patient for the rest of their lives.
It's great for drug companies, but disastrous for everybody else.
Any physician that fails to take "First, do no harm" seriously is not a physician at all. Run. Run VERY far away from doctors like that.
Not so much; people buy their drugs from one cartel or another. One is state sanctioned, and the other not officially, but still, nonetheless, state sanctioned.
The ridiculous dog and pony "crime" show that was *created* with government policy and continues to be perpetuated *by* government policy serves it's purpose. The money still flows where everybody wants it to, and it's just business as usual.
My issue with you and Limbaugh isn't that either of you may or may not currently still be addicts that are still lying about it. My problem with both of you is that you pretend that your addiction is somehow more acceptable and justifiable.
Limbaugh was not unaware of the addictive properties of his drug of choice. Simply choosing a "legal" drug over an "illegal" one does not put you or your asshole supporters on any kind of moral high ground.
Assuming that they are/were what we're being told by the media.
On the other hand, ALL the material hasn't been accounted for, has it ?
The material is/was incredibly dangerous. It was improperly secured and transported. Proper security precautions were not taken. That is another part of the significance of this story people aren't talking about, but should be.
A publicly accessible outlet is an invitation to be used by the public.
The tendency for simply INSANE Americans to declare anyone and everyone possible a "thief", for the primary purpose of somehow elevating themselves, is INSANE. And many of us are tire of your brand of self righteous, indignant cray cray.
If you're going to charge him then everyone plugging in a tablet, phone, whatever needs to be charged. Fill those jails up, create plenty of criminal records, keep the courts busy.
We're all supposed to just automatically trust that someone with a camera mounted to their glasses isn't recording us whenever we leave the house. After all, it's their right.
Myself, I welcome more glassholes creating conflicts like this one. The more ticked-off the public gets the better the chance that the general public will wake-up and start demanding their expectation to privacy be respected, the more likely people will start to decide that a state of constant surveillance, be it done by corporations OR the government, IS a police state.
I just hope all the dickhead convenience faschists are recognized for what they are, instead of accepted as a new normal.
We get it. Swear an oath to the oppressor, to hell with what's right and wrong, that oath is all that really matters. Even if when you swore it, in good faith, you were unaware just how much of an oppressor demanded that oath.
The government betrayed a whistleblower, and he took the only realistic options he had. What I see in you is an apologist of the worst kind for tyranny.
To whine about Wikileaks and Snowden trying to coerce a specific behaviour when the fucking President and his minions have already declared that you're a criminal to the nation is grievous bullshittery.
We teach everything as separate disciplines; is it any wonder kids fail to learn to see interrelationships and often loose interest when "education" is almost exclusively about abstract memorization, as opposed to a comprehensive *understanding* ?
If you want kids to excel in mathematics and chemistry, stop teaching it separate from history and music. If you want kids to have a future, stop gauging them exclusively by test scores based on flawed assumptions about education.
The arts are part of the history of the species, inseparable from how we developed, our technology, politics, and science. Teach these subjects they way they unfolded : together, inter-related, in a *sensible* way.
Not the job in a warehouse at some other company you had, years ago.
Comments here are lacking the details of this specific issue.
I know people who've worked for Amazon. The shifts are long, the breaks are useless because the walking to the break area eats up half your break time. The pay for the toll the job does doesn't compensate for the the physical wear on your body, and the job is a classic dead-end job.
And Amazon is a perfect example of an evil monopoly that got that way buy brutally undercutting competition to the point of putting them out of business. Accomplished by Amazon securing political favors and payoffs.
Instead of looking at Amazon policies, which are nothing to be proud of or an advocate of, people here are relating irrelevant experiences with this company. It's not the same thing. Look at where Amazon's major US facilities are, where there aren't any jobs and there's high unemployment in "right to work" states where workers are treated like shit, and disposable.
Then decide if you really want to do business with Amazon, or encourage your friends and relatives to do business with them. Amazon COULD make those jobs significantly less horrible, but there is no motivation to do so, because here in the US we make excuses for, and accept that workers are disposable and abuseable, and that executives "earn" their bloated salaries by doing so.
It's disgusting and it's everyone's fault for permitting it.
Every example you've given has a real-world counter-example of where this extremism and remarkable faith in the absoluteness of the efficiency of these systems falls short. To put it very politely.
But you've conveniently omitted all that.
What I want to know is, why ?
People don't want to be told to shut the hell up, everything's fine, when it obviously isn't. And we don't need statist apologists constantly lying to us and pretending that everything's fine and that no other options can be implemented. All you've done here is prove that you have an agenda, and it's an ugly agenda that yields a very dystopic outcome.

It is interesting to note that our worst fears and suspicions were well founded.
The people in charge, the authorities, the only reason they did not manage to literally destroy the entire world was pure, dumb luck...

"Free market" is just code for special interest monopolies that have bought representatives off.
Insurance is not healthcare. Healthcare in the US causes bankruptcies BECAUSE it's insurance-based.
The fake differences between the political parties owned by special interests in the US is the difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

it makes more sense to simply design the bags to be multipurpose, multi-use.
Frankly, ALL packaging should be designed this way.
All the tax does is waste money and put it towards nothing of any significance.
with a country that has nuclear strike plans for our cities.
Keep buying that cheap Chinese crap and electing dirtbags that help corporations take businesses and jobs out of the US.
But I need to point something out that I don't think has been remarked on here...
The understanding of what psychopathology is, it's only a model.

I don't give a crap about warming AT ALL.
Just sayin'.
Hint: if it can get someone killed, and it's in the road, it's an emergency.
Not. Rocket. Science.
Given the option, law enforcement personnel would MUCH rather handle it rather than handle body bags...
