    Why does it have to be a social stigma? They could get counseling in private with no record at all.

    The stigma came from, I believe, the soldiers being belittled for complaining about it. "Chin up", "Don't be a pussy" and so on and on, they said, especially from the higher ups.

    I know you're heard of the 1000 yards stare. It ain't funny.

    Mental issues get reported the employer insurance requires it.

    IMO, it's because it can't be seen or measured so it's seen as cowardice, weakness, malingering.

    BTW the terms "snowflake" and "triggered" are insults to those with mental issues.

    Do you really want your airline pilot to secretly be seeing a shrink for suicidal thoughts?

    Remember EgyptAir flight 990? Allahu Akbar, bitches!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptA...ight_recorders
    The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recorded the captain excusing himself to go to the lavatory, followed 30 seconds later by the first officer saying in Egyptian Arabic "Tawkalt ala Allah," which can be translated as "I put my trust in God." A minute later, the autopilot was disengaged, immediately followed by the first officer again saying, "I rely on God." Three seconds later, the throttles for both engines were reduced to idle, and both elevators were moved 3° nose down. The first officer repeated "I rely on God" seven more times before the captain suddenly asked repeatedly, "What's happening, what's happening?" The flight data recorder (FDR) reflected that the elevators then moved into a split condition, with the left elevator up and the right elevator down, a condition that is expected to result when the two control columns are subjected to at least 50 pounds-force (220 newtons) of opposing force.[1] At this point, both engines were shut down by moving the start levers from run to cutoff. The captain asked, "What is this? What is this? Did you shut the engines?" The captain is then recorded as saying, "get away in the engines" (this is the literal translation that appears in the NTSB transcript), followed by "shut the engines". The first officer replies "It's shut". The final recorded words are the captain repeatedly stating, "Pull with me" but the FDR data indicated that the elevator surfaces remained in a split condition (with the left surface commanding nose up and the right surface commanding nose down) until the FDR and CVR stopped recording. No other aircraft were in the area, and no indication was given that an explosion occurred on board. The engines operated normally for the entire flight until they were shut down. From the presence of a western debris field about 1,200 ft (370 m) from the eastern debris field, the NTSB concluded that the left engine and some small pieces of wreckage separated from the aircraft before water impact.[1]

    Everyone has some type of mental illness and a problem.

    I guess everything should be out of commission.

    Everyone has problems and most, if not all, go through periods of time with mental issue; depression being very common. Like catching COVID, it's a matter of degree of severity..and people don't have any control on that.

    People can end up healing themselves, seek help and heal faster or end up sick for years until they end their lives or get in trouble with the law. About 40% of those in prison have mental illnesses, 15-20% of those are serious mental illnesses....and receive little to no help with it. They'll come out as sick as they went in.

    How Many Individuals with Serious Mental Illness are in Jails and Prisons?
    SUMMARY: Approximately 20 percent of inmates in jails and 15 percent of inmates in state
    prisons have a serious mental illness. Based on the total number of inmates, this means that
    there are approximately 356,000 inmates with serious mental illness in jails and state prisons.
    This is 10 times more than the approximately 35,000 individuals with serious mental illness
    remaining in state hospitals.
    https://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/mental_health/
    Key Statistics:

    • Percent of people in state and federal prisons who have been diagnosed with a mental illness: 37% +
    • In locally-run jails: 44% +
    • Number of people experiencing "serious psychological distress" in jails: 1 in 4 +
    • Percent of people in federal prisons who reported not receiving any mental health care while incarcerated: 66% +
    • Percent of police shootings in 2015 that involved a mental health crisis: 27% +
    • Portion of people jailed 3+ times within a year who report having a moderate or serious mental illness: 27% +
    • Lasting effects of incarceration: post-traumatic stress, anxiety, impaired decision-making, and more +

    What is a drug rug?

    A Baja jacket (also known as a "Mexican threads hoodie", Baja hoodie, Baja sweatshirt, or Drug Rug)
    is a type of Mexican jacket with a single large pocket on the front, and vents on the side.
    They are more commonly made out of a coarse woolen fabric known as "jerga".
