    1. Liberals are some of the most naive, out of touch and unintelligent people I’ve ever met.

  1. a long time ago i read a piece in an archaeological publication of some kind, about a neolithic community that apparently went out of existence when everybody in it committed suicide.
    nobody could figure out why.
    it was because they elected trump as president.

  2. It is during the pandemic that you find out everybody you know has a mental problem. We’re a mess

    1. No ,only if your on the DemocRAT side .I we feel fine ,just looking forward to the fall election ….and the down fall of Karen .

  3. Climate change, politics, science, pandemic, Hollyweird, elections, hurricane season, mental health, credit, bills, unemployment, mass shootings, police violence, parallel universe, depression, isolation…..One of the most innovative and progressive era in History but yet we’re so damaged and exhausted.

    1. No surprise really. Whenever people have anything at all left in the tank after cobbling together how to survive until next week, month – the pursuit of personal acclaim and material gain reigns supreme above all else. Wanting to grow, improve, learn is a good thing. But we’re so busy trying _to be best,_ that we neglect _to just _*_be._*

      Any I concur; Parallel universe??

    2. Well at least the good news is the final nail has been put in the coffin of anthropological global warming. For years science has proven that CO2 follows natural climate change rather than is a driver of such. Indeed we know held strong scientific data that shows that the earth is at a very historic low ebb will CO2 levels. During the worldwide economic shut down when the vibration of the entire planet was measured and found to be subsiding, those few who were still promoting CAGW touted that with the cessation of travel and industry the CO2 levels will clearly be diminished. Early reports showed that CO2 levels continue to increase even though the economic downturn was in full swing. What is very surprising is that suddenly the four main reporting locations have quit publishing their data. That is also very suspicious. But we see no solid proof that human activity Is no longer responsible for increased CO2 in the atmosphere.

  4. I’m feeling for anyone developing mental health problems in this time, but I’m afraid there’s no understanding to find anywhere. If you feel like killing yourself, you’re living in a world where you at the same time can see people cracking jokes about insanity on internet and hear them using “crazy” as an example to describe something bad. You will have to find the answers in yourself, if you try to find it in doctors, therapists, medication, drugs, etc. you won’t find it. I can only recommend meditation and prayer. Loving others as yourself, or trying to do so as far as possible. It’s easier to find joy in life, when helping others do the same.

  5. Lots of us are beginning to go a little stir crazy. My anxiety is up & I try to ward off depression by gardening, blogging & listening to music. I’am lucky in that I have a mate & a puppy who need & love me! If you are feeling depressed you can talk to me but not if you are a tRump supporter!

  6. Are you on the ghoulish green “Somebody stop me” adrenochrome? that is some pricey jive turkey roasting stuff the Native Americans had the self respect to torture themselves for the mind altering good stuff. Yes the celebrity cult of the good stuff, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwokjM-AqzQ the devil’s pet’s have been messing about with this stuff for age’s moody rages.

  7. Psalms 23: (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
    4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

  8. The pro Trump weirdos are lashing out on this clip. I think mental illness hits them too close to home.

    1. Ron Winter : I get that you were trying to be funny, but mental illness and mental health crises can happen to anyone, of any political and/or religious persuasion. To shame or mock people suffering with it in one group adds to the overall societal stigma around it that acts as a barrier and stressor for so many. I know that there are many commenters on this video who are not supportive of mental health at all, but I urge you to be the better, more reasonable person here.

    1. Blue Bull69 : It’s not just “Basement Joe.” Mental health crises can affect anyone, no matter how well put together your life may be otherwise. There are a lot of factors that can alter your mental health status, including but not limited to genetics, diet, physical injuries, chronic illness, environmental toxins (such as exposure to certain chemicals, contamination of city or well water), and medication being taken to treat a physical malady. Shaming people for needing help with mental health just does more damage, not only to the individual struggling with it, but also to everyone around them in their family and community.

  9. The first example of MENTAL HEALTH is trump!! Do you really think thathe is “ normal”?

  10. working in healthcare you get used to this situation and while it sucks I don’t feel anxiety. Especially since many survived the virus where I work

  11. ….take a moment to imagine animals in factory farms confined in small spaces for years: newborn calves separated from their mothers, pigs constrained in cages with no room to turn around…..this is their  reality: one of loneliness and isolation….pandemic or not. Yet we humans “complain” of being isolated during this pandemic when isolation is what humans inflict on animals by the millions each day……….

    Ravi Peiris M.D.

    1. Ravi Peiris this was a message that needs to be said over and over and over until this horrific treatment of other creatures ends! thank you

  12. I appreciate this discussion, but I think it would have been more helpful to talk about resources that might be available to people who need the help and would use it, but can’t afford it, and/or who can’t access it through traditional means.
