    Kennedy and anti-depressants, ADHD, mood stabilizers, and "wellness/labor farms"

    Kennedy has come out with some very strange messaging about mental health and medications and treatments for people including wellness/labor farms/camps and re-parenting for children with ADHD. Does anyone know how Big Pharma will do with these new ideas and possible policies? These seem even worse and bigger than the vaccine controversies.

    I'm sure this will all work out fine.

    Snort.

    yeah I caught some Kennedy nonsense about having people with neurological challenges work on organic farms, or some such thing. ��

    That’s nice,Bobby. Good luck with that.

    If my second child does not get their antidepressant medications, I'm not sure how much longer I'll HAVE a second child. This crap Kennedy is spouting is frightening.

    My ex-wife, who I had been with for 40 years, was taken cold-turkey off her carefully-titrated assortment of medications for her bipolar disorder. By a new therapist who "didn't believe in medication, just lifestyle changes". She was also told by the therapist to "not tell her family" about the medication protocol changes. (I note that the therapist in question was not a medical doctor of any sort, just someone with a masters in social work.)

    The sudden change was horrifying to witness, and impossible to live with.

    This is why she is now my ex-wife.

    She had to spend significant time in an in-patient psych center to recover enough to even function.

    okay---they need to use some remote, wide-open space(like Greenland or Utah or wherever), to build some secure camps to resolve the homeless problem and also the sociopaths that do-nothing for their keep in prison, and the non-christians and fanaticrats who hate America/love Ukrainia. Summa them can be put in uniform, and be dropped via parachute into the trouble spots, like Ukrainia; others can help in growing potatoes & rice & making license plates. Those attempting escape will be shot on site. That should work, until we weed out the undesirables. Oh yes---sterilization. That should be done, too. We don't need them reproducing. Nope.

    I often wonder how Eunice Kennedy Shriver would feel about his asinine recommendations for the intellectually disabled. She dedicated a good part of her life to their well-being.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    RFKJ talks about all the summers he spent at special Olympic camps and etc. so he considers himself quite knowledgeable about that population. A core assumption from his time working with Special Olympics is that there weren’t nearly as many ADHD kids and autistic kids and etc. back in”his” day so there must be an environmental cause of these conditions.

    Hey, don’t shoot me. I’m just the Messenger passing on what I heard in that tedious 4 hour interview with him.

    okay---here is the high point oGreenland; somethinlike 12,000 feet. Yup. First ascent: 1935, And no--it wasn't a group of Haitians or Guatemalans, either. But, anyway---hope to see an American Flag flying from the peak, pretty soon.(see photo)
