"Farmers in the United States are 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population...Utah’s suicide rate has consistently been among the nation’s highest, and farmers and ranchers struggle with the volatility that comes with working in the dry mountain region. They die by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in the state, according to state data, behind miners and construction workers."

A few nuggets plucked from the PsiAN listserv:

The HHS recently stated that they are retreating from their plan to create an autism registry. However,

"'NIH is investing $50 million to launch a comprehensive research effort aimed at understanding the causes of [autism] and improving treatments by leveraging large-scale data resources and fostering cross-sector
collaboration,' HHS told BHB."

There are already required autism registries in seven states!

Behavioral Health Business · No Autism Registry: HHS Scales Back on Compiling Medical Data of People with ASDBy Chris Larson

Mental health from a brain's perspective with Dr Dean Burnett

propermentalpodcast.podbean.co

It's Dean's appearance on the popular 'Proper Mental' podcast, which covers all manner of things, from stress as the biological root of mental distress, the nuances of antidepressants, to why handling corpses is better than doing comedy.

Do listen!

propermentalpodcast.podbean.comMental health from a brain's perspective with Dr Dean Burnett | The Proper Mental PodcastWelcome to episode 209 with Dr Dean Burnett, who is a neuroscientist, lecturer and author. Dean is currently an honorary research fellow at Cardiff Psychology School and has also worked as a psychiatry tutor and lecturer at the Cardiff University Centre for Medical Education. He is the author of several acclaimed books about brains, neuroscience, emotions and mental health. And this episode is a little bit different. I wanted to do an episode about mental health and mental illness from the perspective of the human brain. I often focus on society and the things around us that impact our mental health, so for this conversation I wanted get some understanding of what’s actually happening to our brains when our experiences, circumstances or environment are affecting us mentally. I thought a lot about common themes and threads from this show over the years and I asked Dean things like What is happening in the brain when we get lonely and why is isolation so harmful to us? Why do brains like nature so much? How does sitting with our emotions actually help our brains to process them? Why do our brains choose to feel anxious even, when we know that there is nothing to be anxious about? And loads of other stuff too. Dean was incredible to chat to! It was absolutely fascinating to be able to explore his extensive, brain related knowledge and we had a lot of fun too. Connect with Dean on social media @garwboy and learn more at www.deanburnett.com You can connect with me on social media @propermentalpodcast or via www.propermentalpodcast.com.

There is something indescribably traumatizing about watching someone's character, cognition, memory, personality, spark of life itself slowly extinguished over the span of years because we decided collectively to submit to Billionaire Propaganda on #covid19, #masks, & #vaccines.

I am watching what must be similar to seeing a loved one with Alzheimers deteriorate over time, only its 80% of my patients including those half my age.*

*The 20% are saddled with OCD, Social Anxiety, Paranoia, or Cassandra Syndrome

There aught to be an online resource for people who want to kill themselves.

Like an online checklist or something. Shopping list or financial info to consider including in your suicide note.

Would be nice to check off a few things while the roast is in the oven. Ya know?

“The nation of South Vietnam still exists in the people who came here after the war,” Sandy said. “It is a nation that ceased existing in 1975 on a map. But there’s this diaspora of people who became Vietnamese American and brought with them their conception of that citizenship and nationality.”

Obesity is a complex condition with many contributing factors. The most effective treatments follow a multimodal approach, where healthcare professionals — psychologists, nutritionists, and physicians — work together to support people on their weight loss journey. @ScienceAlert has more:

I should start a series called #tourettes Weird Moment of the Day:

Today's case-

A new guy who's nice at the Group Home I stay at, but also annoying as he asks obvious questions all day asked me "You drink instant coffee black?!".

"Yes," I was short as I was tired and just awoke.

"What are you a serial killer?" He was making a joke. I was gonna politely ask to be left alone.

I ticked as I was annoyed and said "Not yet, I'll start with you!" Now he's scared of me.

Firstly, I apologies if this is rude and if this is tarnishing the tags I'm listing.

This started as a narrower question, but broadened to this:

I'm making a "Mental Health Awareness Month" display at my library. That got me wondering, what constitutes "Mental Health?"

What started this question was that shelved with these books according to the Dewey Decimal System were books on autism. Is autism mental health? Is it just a way that some people are? Should it, (and ADHD for that matter,) be lumped in with depression (massive and bipolar), addiction, self harm, schizophrenia, etc.?

I'm trying to only pull books that are positive/informative.

If you're autistic, would you like to see books about it displayed with other mental health books?
