Technology and Mental Health

Discerning the good information from rubbish is the most important thing.

News can make up an event or story to make it sensational. Sensational sells. To research a subject I try to go back to its source, to see what or who the original thinker was.

We can be misled, and controlled by the powers to be, and so a herd mentality is cultured.

Why have we become ITC gluttons? For what purpose? It seems to me it is the new virus that captures all so they have little time for real conversation.

And I found a little while ago, a new trial for PTSD using a specific drug that IS working, it's being done in the US, will it happen here? Don't know because it's one of the "bad" drugs or unlawful ones. Albeit this drug was issued by script by Doctors up until the late 60's for people.

That's annoying. So, technology? Information & Communications Technology is ummm almost a replacement to natural communion with your community.

I'm using it to communicate because I an avoiding seeing people. I'm still in total avoidance, as I have zero tolerance for stupidity. People are quick to give you (unknowledgeable) opinions. Well intended but are simply through away empty lines. It's so obvious. Or tell you how you should feel.

ICT is my escape from people. My zone out, not wanting anyone else near me space. Bad.
And there's the good. It's here to stay so we have to get used to it. I suppose until it's get people totally disconnected with others / it will only be then that it must swing to find its own balance.
