Social anxiety and depression are either endemic or people like having sick days. Workers rights have no led to an utopian work life for the vast majority. The middle classes get workers rights and the working class get self employment and the gig economy. Because someone's off sick for 6 months with depression as a cook in a care home. Next time they use an agency who will guarantee a member of staff will be there every day. I'm going to assume you're not much of a Marxist. What you are saying is you want a lot more capitalism 👌

The insane part is, our arms sales to Israel are minuscule compared to the US, so it seems preposterous that both Parties would be so vehemently against imposing a ban, especially in light of the increasing evidence coming to light that Israel are acting in violation of international law, coupled with now the deliberate killing of 3 British Aid Workers. The only reason they doggedly refuse to impose a sales ban is principally down to the optics doing so would have on others also selling weaponry to Israel. I suspect the pressure to continue selling arms is coming not so much from Israel, but from the US, simply in order not to undermine their continued support.

I'm about to qualify as a junior doctor and have done a lot of work in psychiatry. I also have family members constantly in crises. Unfortunately there isn't good help for people in crises as the approach isnto stabilise them and then dischargr and there isnrarely adequate follow up. What is needed is as Ava says, more widely available talking therapies at a community level. Also the attitudes of even doctors and psychiatrists towards certain patients, particualrly people with emotionally unstable personality disorder, is still miles behind and is leading to very poor outcomes. A huge number of patients in the mental health system are victims of the social and economic crises in our country, and unfortunately the lack of proper support keeps this people out of work and it causes a viscous cycle

[@TheReelDealFilmReviews]

I agree. A narrative pertaining to mental health is vital and whilst the attitudes to this has improved, there needs to be more work to achieve empathy. The portrait of PTSD is not sympathetic in the media, it’s such a complex issue and it is shown as very linear. Mental health is connected to physical health and depression can be a symptom of many disabilities. The system needs a lot of amelioration.

[@tyler6539]

@TheReelDealFilmReviews it is also misdiagnosis of a multitude of different mental health conditions that vary on such a huge spectrum. Particularly personality disorders (very poorly names that perpetuates stigma amongst public and HCPs) are slapped with a diagnosis of depression and are then treated pharmacologically which isn't well suited to the individual

[@TheReelDealFilmReviews]

@@tyler6539 I have epilepsy and it’s not controlled because it’s structural. I have social phobia because I hate fitting in public and that’s very reasonable I think. Social phobia seems to be fairly tolerated as the pandemic saw to that. SSRIs are not for everyone and I can’t have them because of my epilepsy; Lyrica is a good option for those who have tried SSRIs and don’t get on with them. I have lovely doctors but I have been patronised multiple times by other doctors because of my epilepsy. It’s a depressing condition, as are all neurological diseases and I have PTSD as a result of it. I think that therapy is brilliant but it has to be right for the patient and psychotherapy requires a lot of strength. There is a lot of ignorance about mental health and I will say, epilepsy.

I think the discussion on therapy for chronic depression is... a little dismissive? I dunno, I think Ava's right in identifying the core issue at hand, but I disagree with her perspective on bad vs good service. As someone with chronic depression, drugs don't do anything for me. The problem is one of mindset. While I'm less prone to spiralling while on medication, I will, eventually, begin to resent its presence in my life. Therapy was integral in giving me strategies to identify my problems and combat symptoms proactively. The point isn't one or the other - it's that mental health work requires a holistic perspective, and you need a broad focus on all areas of provision for all required support.

it's not about "manly" or "girly" regarding men not doing well in the service sector. it is about the fact that the traits most normally seen in women (empathy and openness) are favoured in the service sector for obvious reasons. men who are high in these traits do really well in the service sector. the traits normally seen in men (interested in things not people, focus on task goal not task method) are not favoured in the service area, or offices, nursing, teaching etc... this is not a toxic masculinity thing, it is a biological drives thing. women who are low on empathy and high on task goals do badly in the service sector too, but there are far fewer of these women.

[@raylder6339]

Right, on 'Service Sector and Masculinity': It's not that it is a bit girly to work in these jobs. The issue is the definition of professionalism and the way that working in service sector encourages you to be adaptable to the demands of your supervisors and your customers. When there is an issue of self respect in the service sector there is always going to be a difference in how people with varying personalities cope and react. So a lot of men find they struggle with reconciling their masculinity and pride with the environment that expects them to take on the expectations (and shitty behaviour) of customers and supervisors without a response which challenges the values of professionalism. I also believe that male to male dynamics in the customer service environment can be incredibly toxic because under the guise of 'instructing professionalism' males in positions of authority can abuse males under that authority by wielding their 'instructive' capacity overseeing others as a way to challenge and bully other men who they have personal and petty issues with. This is not to say, however, that this is an exclusively male issue. The problem that exacerbates male mental health here is that for men in the position of being oppressed by customers and supervisors who wield criticism of their 'professionalism' as a way of subjugating them they find it humiliating and self-perpetuatingly frustrating to the extent that seeking constructive help with the problems of these interpersonal dynamics can be difficult and obstructed by a need to express their frustration which can make it difficult for people who might be able to support or advise them to relate to them.

The industry that has by far the worst rates of mental health is construction. 600 construction workers committed suicide last year. Construction is about as male and masculine as it gets.

Unable to pay your bills and your on the street offering see services to older gentleman. When are people going to get real. Boys and men don't need anymore feminism or therapy. We need decent jobs that pay enough to live and have a tiny bit of security. So sick of hearing boys need to talk more. No they don't!

@@Norfolkandchance886 Well I don't dispute the statistic you're giving, I'm not fussed about proclaiming which industry is the most masculine - but to be clear my point was that the industry type to gender stereotype dynamic wasn't relevant. But what I do dispute is your statement at the end there that boys and men don't need to talk more. At the very lest saying what you are saying is talking more. You're expressing how you feel about something based in evidence on a matter which is a practical and ethical issue and then you top it all off by saying that expressing yourself is not necessary - but clearly you do. I just think you need to question whether the kind of expression that you think people are trying to encourage men to give is what you're challenging, rather than whether men should be feeling encouraged to express themselves. Let's have a constructive dialogue even if you think there's too much emphasis on feminism and therapy. Don't write off expressing yourself altogether.

Provide or sell to Israel? This is an important distinction. Secondly, the English are not up in arms because there were "white" people killed, but because they were English. You really need to check your own bias. If they had been American, Australian or Canadian, the English reaction would not be the same. So it is not an issue of race but of nationality. Also, there are not two but three overarching groups involved in this. Humus, the Israeli government, and the civilians being used (killed and damaged) as a proxy punching bag.
