this is so simple I can’t believe I’ve never thought of it before but has anyone ever tried to show a relationship between involuntary treatment and outcomes at the population level by comparing different states? Like if involuntary treatment (inpatient and outpatient) worked you would expect to see less suicides, less overall mortality and better quality of of life for people with smi in states with more aggressive involuntary treatment laws. There are so many factors it’d hard to prove a causal relationship but not even an attempt at looking for correlation?

I think my dad used to have munchausens by proxy with his printer because it broke constantly and he would always call my oldest brother to come fix it cause otherwise he never came over. Then they would get in a half hour screaming fight over politics and my brother would leave.

once I saw a guy complaining about how red haired men aren’t considered attractive the way red haired women are and we’re like a red haired man could never star in x y and z media like women do and one of the examples was six feet under where I’m assuming by red haired female star he meant Lauren Ambrose but I prefer to think he meant Frances Conroy. You’re right no man could ever match her middle aged widowed housewife sex appeal
