OT: why is everyone bipolar now?

[fa_jing]

I just was speaking to a mental health pro yesterday and he mentioned that not getting enough sleep can make you irritable and prone to becoming angry. It wasn't about me, but a light bulb went off in my head because I do walk around surly all the time due to lack of sleep. And I seem to get more irritable in the morning and at bedtime.

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!! Do you happen to have the brand? And what was in it in particular that was supposed to prevent the gestation of a likely ADHD kid?

Duet - not surprisingly, you can only get them via a doctor's prescription.

true but do we have to be wreckless about it? would you let your family live in a home built by an engineer experimenting with new and unproven, potentially dangerous building methods? these medications are largely unnecassary for the majority of people using them as everyone has mentioned. when a person genuinely needs medications, he/she pretty much becomes a guinea pig. someones mind is not one of those things you figure out by trial and error. im sure anyone will tell you electro-shock treatment is no fun.

plus the added fact that a lot of the medications marketed today seem to be driven by profits and not the need to help people. marketing is the key word. if something is truly effective do you really need 10 commercials about it during the superbowl. or will the results speak for themselves? and shouldn't your doctor be prescribing them, instead of your going to the doctor and requesting? lol do you think they needed to market penicillin?

I see your point, but what would you pick between having a) no home or b) an experimental home?

I agree about the profits thing.

nah its not an isssue of either or. life is full of grays...as they say. you dont hafta go without for very long since its in our nature to improve and evolve, but still there are certain ways you go about things that cause the least amount of damage.

think about how space exploration is possible, because its always safety first. you dont give in and say humans aren't meant to exist in space. but what good is all the planning and research if everyone ends up dead or worse off than they started? get what i mean? if the pros dont outweigh the cons and you haven't really accomplished much then its time to try sumthin new.

Consciousness is a well-crafted illusion that merely serves to harness energy from the sun to create near-perfect clones who are also equipped with the same.

Of all the medicines in the world
Myriad and various
There is none like the medicine of Truth
Therefore, O followers, drink of this.

Not a good analogy...

if they were looking at a different way of designing for load, thats one thing..

If a object is binded to another though, it's easy to do a structural analysis of the components.
