Important themes. Caring for others brings fragility to the surface. Some of us are never the same again, especially when empathy is at the core. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are real and can be paralyzing. Interventions, advice, medicine, support, etc. all have tremendous value. The challenge is connecting with those who truly "understand".

Thank you, Dr. Gold. As a psychologist who worked in Psychiatry departments, I know about the burnout and secrecy about mental health stressors among medical folks and caregivers. More awareness is good, without pathologizing.

Hey! Name’s Adam and i’m a rather ambitious man seeking to clean up the mess in North America. As for the gun issue, here’s my two cents:

When in charge, i’ll dissolve the NRA, make gun companies criminally and financially liable, tear the Second Amendment in half, introduce Swiss-style gun control laws and take a page from Australia’s playbook. What do you say?
