Overdiagnosis? Seems timely to reshare...

In CAMHS, little evidence of overdiagnosis of emotional disorders, rather the opposite - many children and young people with diagnosable mental health disorders not receiving a clinical diagnosis or timely help

This looks worth a longer inspection ….
In case you needed more evidence that social media may not be the thing we should be obsessing about when it comes to wellbeing…another meta-analysis of experimental data showing no link.
New meta-analysis of experiments of social media use reduction finds no evidence that reducing social media use improves mental wellness: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've only taken a quick look thus far but this replicates my own meta-analysis from last year. Always nice to see.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.

2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.
