OT: Fascinating treatment for PTSD and addiction

[ashokan]

Way to show off you racist piece of human garbage.

You actually think one’s skin color has anything to do with their mental health? Truly do you think that because someone is born black or Hispanic for that reason alone they are more susceptible to PTSD?

Truly the amount of overt racism on this board is remarkable

Lol - be careful to not overreact and risk PTSD
Its well known from MANY studies that their are higher rates of PTSD among certain minorities.
Nobody says they are born or not born to be more inclined toward PTSD because of race itself
More distinction is given to environment, culture etc.

When kids grow-up abandoned by a parent, surrounded by violence, lack of resources etc then they will be more prone to certain triggers - the PTSD stress pump is primed. Unsurprisingly the people who have least PTSD are Asians.

"The lifetime prevalence of PTSD was highest among Blacks (8.7%), intermediate among Hispanics and Whites (7.0% and 7.4%) and lowest among Asians (4.0%)."

"Among men and women, positive PTSD screening rates were significantly elevated among Black, multiracial, and Hispanic/Latinx veterans compared with White veterans. Sociodemographics, trauma exposure, stress and social support accounted for elevated positive screening rates among all racial/ethnic groups except Black men and multiracial women.

Keep moving the goal post. I didn’t say they didn’t have med schools or hospitals. But we are talking about experimental treatments. But you keep at it. Must be a race thing. I’m glad you are comfortable going to Mexico for experimental medical treatments. I wouldn’t go to parts US for experimental medical treatments. I hope you feel better about yourself for being how accepting you are. Proud of you bro.

I mean you can twist it however you like but no one was moving goalposts, YOU are the one who brought up experimental medicine not licensed in the US. I’m just pointing out exactly what the reasons you feel the way you do are.

Of course there’s parts of the US you wouldn’t go to for treatment, they’re not majority white there😉👍🏾

Believe it or not. A lot of the top research doctors in Europe are not white. They are there because education, funding and resources. When I worked with my oncologist , he often cited research in Europe. I am biased toward more developed countries with a focus on education, research and strong economy. I hope you get the help you need.

How about the USA?

Were his stats wrong?

Asians are also more likely to make more and graduate college. Two parents that give a chit privilege.
