RE: Forever in Solitary

Hello there! Your local broken record chiming in!

The effects above are all also side effects of pharmaceuticals. Isolation threatens many of us as we age, screens or no screens, and the meds we are routinely prescribed, hormones especially, cause physiological, cognitive and emotional effects. Overdiagnosis of hypothyroidism, prescriptions for menopause, all cause heart ailments, cognitive challenges and other. It's almost as if the goal is to have more of us kill ourselves. Are suicide rates skyrocketing, including medically assisted? Increased screen time can't be helping, but there is another correlation - pharmaceuticals in all age groups - that is being completely overlooked here, and I believe it is more harmful that entertainment via screens.

You and me both ;)

Yes they are and I think we are caught in a loop that makes it so "complicated" that people think nothing can be done.

Yes. I think assisted suicide should still be considered suicide. It is very high now, with it being over 5% of all deaths in some countries. That is pretty insane, right?

that is being completely overlooked here, and I believe it is more harmful that entertainment via screens.

I think they walk hand in hand. It is all part of the profit mechanism.
