We need to talk about the United States’ mental health crisis – and its larger causes | Robert Reich | The Guardian
The list could be much longer, but you get the point. The anxiety disorders suffered by Americans are real, and they apparently are growing. But instead of regarding them solely as personal disorders, maybe we need to understand them at least partly as social disorders – and get to work remedying them as a society.
My readers, if it’s human and I know about it or have experienced it, I’m going to talk about it. Let’s start with this. While the system is sick because it discriminates with respect to money, doctors are sick because they make judgment based on biases and prejudices. Vlearly they need consistent psychotherapeutic sessions.
I say of this empathic social experiment: let those who feel no anxiety at all regarding the state of things, be psychopathic and sociopathic in tendencies. Then there is a large population of those living among us we are yet to uncover.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
