I have never really suffered with anxiety, but my partner does. So I am all for that.

Stay lucky.

The COVID test was extremely unpleasant. I also think it's useless unless you are really sick and they have to find out.

Regarding testing for anxiety disorders, with cuts to the MH budget being implimented in almost every country in the developed world it seems unlikely that this will taken up.

Also while its true that many women deveop anxiety problems MH strikes at both genders and suicide is highest among men from 18 -40.

M<aybe its just time that we acknowldged that MH issues from a mild depression to full blown psychoses need attention and should be taken seriously to avoid long term damage to the person themself and the wider family. It should also be taken into account the economic impact the MH has on society. Treatment might not seem so expensive
if one considers the impact a suicide or long term hospitalization has on the economy..

I have Anxiety brought on by Menopause supposedly. But looking back... I always had anxiety, my parents just didn't realize what it was. I thought I was normal back then.
I think MH issues need way more attention in todays world. It's sad that people suffer in silence not believing they can be helped and their misery can be managed, or reduced.

I agree. i also read that there is an increase in cancer issues and deaths because a lot of early screening as been slowed by the pandemic.

I got a good one for you.

As you know my daughter is a psychologist. She was telling me that she wanted to study criminals and their teeth. It seems that criminals, irrespective of success or wealth tend to have worse teeth than average, and tend to visit the dentist less frequently.

Make sure you clean out your brain every night ;p

I had my eyes tested, this is vital because Graves disease affects the eyes, but my pressure was good and my long vision is 150% of normal for my age and my reading/short vision is only 0.25 worse than two years ago when I last had new glasses so I ordered a new pair of reading glasses which are 100% paid by insurence..

As for the money I had earmarked for glasses ....I spent half on a new monitor..

Every cloud can have a silver lining.....
