clipper's remarks: dulios recently mentioned to me that conservatives were talking about me on their threads, accusing me of lying about my education and experience. I'd say first, Google me. But, addressing it only once, this clip should be proof enough.

Economic Depression Meets Clinical Depression

There is no one single cause to any economic or financial crisis. Instead, we are talking about a perfect storm of converging events and trends. Invariably, these involve a culture of greed, highly irresponsible borrowing and lending, market values that bear no relationship to true asset values, misplaced faith in the ability of the markets to govern themselves, a government treasury of some sort hovering on insolvency, lack of political leadership, and regulatory authorities asleep at the switch. Add to that a host of complicating factors - such as loss of white (to add to blue) collar jobs overseas, rising oil prices, a financially squeezed middle-class, and the historic reliability of humans to act unpredictably - and we're talking chaos theory

Various dynamics of smart vs stupid come into play. For instance, the people on Wall Street are incredibly smart, but their activities often serve spectacularly stupid purposes.

10 Common Myths about Mental Illness

Top 10 Myths of Mental Illness

1. Mental illness is just like a medical disease.

2. Medications are the only treatment you need to treat a mental illness.

3. If a medication or psychotherapy doesn’t work, that means your situation is hopeless.

4. Therapists don’t care about you – they only pretend to care because you pay them.

5. If it isn’t serious, it can’t hurt you.

6. Psychology and psychiatry aren’t “real sciences.” They’re supported only by fuzzy research and contradictory findings.
