Bonne mort is the bon mot.

Any news on universities yet? Also, as a "young person", are you worried of the effect of the financial crisis on your future job prospect? Do you feel part of the "lost generation"? Are you considering selling your body for baked beans on toast? What is this "tweeter" thing I keep hearing about?


Well, I got an acceptance from Exter, which, I suppose, is the equivalent of your mum thinking you're cool. The others are reticent to say the least. Who knows what arcane rituals they use to determine who gets a place? Personally, I consider myself too cool to be lost - momentarily displaced, perhaps. The momentarily displaced generation? I could go for that.

Exeter is a good university! Top 10 easily. It's more akin to having your best mate's mum think you're hot. It's good considering the circumstances, what with uni applications being up 20% and whatnot. You gonna study History?

I have no grounding in European educational systems. Is his best friend's mum a MILF?

Yeah, she's a pretty damn hot MILF.

To further clarify, those who do need the meds usually do not suffer as many side effects as those who don't; for obvious reasons.


This is far from obvious. To be more specific, it is silly.

People who suffer from side effects are those who are sensitive to the meds in a bad way. Whether they need the meds or not is irrelevant to their sensitivity.

. The brain is an organ, and it's possible that people with mental illness could owe that illness (and the resulting flaw in judgment) to chemical imbalances

Sure it's possible, but it begs the question, of why, if there are illnesses driven primarily by brain chemistry, are there no tests that can predict these illnesses based on the chemical makeup? Once that situation is reached, the condition ceases to be "mental illness".

I rather like the point where they turn into sideways bow-ties.

That's what they look like to me, but I guess they could be hour-glasses.

Look, I can randomly say that what you've said contradicts itself too; but unless you tell me what I've said contradicts then how am I supposed to defend anything?

I was actually referring to people taking the medication when they shouldn't be. For example, people who don't have ADHD taking ritalin.

So all medication is self-harm now? I better not take methylphenidate anymore, it won't cause me to do better in school, it's only going to harm myself!

I understood your reference. It was the statement itself that I questioned.

Some people in this thread speak in generalities about medication. I think that's what bugs me about this thread. Anything other than saying it depends on the situation is inaccurate. The reality is that people make treatment decisions according to the presentation, the symptom picture, the person/family history and a bunch of other factors. Saying it is "the last resort" or making any other broad assumption is inconsistent with best practices. I think that the ideas behind dysregulation disorder are coming from many competing camps who aren't sure what to do about this rise in Bipolar I diagnosis. You can't ascribe a single reasoning behind it. To pretend otherwise is really just talking out of your ***.

I haven't seen anything all-inclusive in this thread. Most of the comments are speaking to the majority of, not all cases. People clearly have opinions one way or the other and speaking to the majority isn't necessarily a bad thing to do. Why should everyone ride the fence on the subject?
