I really don't need, or even want, every actor or athlete I watch tell me their political views.
However, if you spew wild extreme stuff, it's going to affect my ability to support you.
Here's to the Chiefs missing lots of field goals next year.

Some of the same folks flying the flag upside down were condemning athletes for taking a knee at the national anthem.
Consistency has never been a strong suit when it comes to politics.
From a brain science perspective, though, it's kinda fascinating.

Parental substance use leading to child abuse and neglect leading to child mental health problems leading to psychiatry appointment to "fix it." Hey @Mad_In_America, if you really want to reduce medication use, maybe devote a little bit of energy on stopping this cycle early?

Anyone else getting a little nervous about how much telemedicine has become so huge? This was supposed to be a temporary COVID thing.

Really hard to interpret findings like this. Is this bad? Maybe, but we could really use studies that go into more depth and look at appropriateness of these trends. We already know kids in foster care get more meds. @aacap @JAMANetworkOpen
In this cross-sectional study, psychotropic polypharmacy prevalence increased from 2015-20. Among the Medicaid disabled and foster care eligibility groups, the prevalence remained disproportionately higher than other eligibility groups. ja.ma/3SEUByN

There are people who smoke and don't get lung cancer but we still acknowledge that smoking causes lung cancer. Same story here between cannabis and psychosis.
Does marijuana cause psychosis? The answer is complicated. Read more from David Nathan and Peter Grinspoon here: cnn.com/2024/02/08/opinions/…

Nicely done. We desperately need more media groups who are truly trying to inform rather than persuade.
Both sides of Oregon’s drug decriminalization debate are citing statistics to draw opposite conclusions, sometimes irresponsibly.

This is a huge study (literally, 12 million people) that confirms what we've all been seeing clinically - namely that cannabis in the long run makes anxiety worse, not better. Not an anxiety "medicine."
🧐 34,822 (0.29%) had an incident ED visit 🏥due to cannabis. Within 3-years of an incident ED visit due to cannabis, 12.3% (n = 4294) of individuals had an incident ED visit or hospitalization for an anxiety disorder—a 3.7-fold

Yes I know cause and effect here is muddled and many may be "self medicating," but if cannabis is supposed to be a medication then it is a pretty crappy one.
“Those who used marijuana every day were five times more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety than non-users.” Full article here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
