They say: "We need to have a discussion about mental illness" - OK, ready?

9. we rly need a brain health moon shot.

we know so little, really. right now it's about checking boxes on a list of symptoms that could land most of us in a locked ward. and those lists have a hard sexist bias.
they cant sort ptsd from tbi, and we can still only dx cte in an autopsy. advanced imaging can tell the difference, the va has this tech. the proper course of treatment is vastly different. the wrong course is damaging. but how many people can access that?

most medication is still a game of roulette, even tho a dna test can narrow that down greatly. yet it isnt done routinely, afaik.

at least now most people can get mmj, and increasingly mushrooms.

but for the most part, we're stuck in the 50's on a lot of this.
