It's a mater of persepctive.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 09/03/2017 09:12:09 PM

The primary cause of premature death in persons with mental health issues is suicide. Since suicidal tendencies are one of the symptoms of depression and bipolar disorder, how can you say it doesn't kill them?

It wasn't the depression/bipolar disorder that killed the person; it was the <insert tragic method> that killed them. The underlining depression/bipolar disorder is what prompted the action. So to remedy the issue long term, you don't remove the <insert tragic method> from the person...as they may try <a different tragic method>. Instead you pursue treatment and help for the underlining issue that's causing the problem in the first place (i.e.- The depression/bipolar disorder).

So to bring this all the way back around....every other mental health issue we treat by addressing the underlining issue (the depression, bipolar disorder, anorexia, OCD, etc.)...however, instead of treating transgender people, we enable and may even applaud them for their migration from reality.

Self-Identification vs. Mental Health Issue *trigger warning* Jeordam - 06/03/2017 08:53:17 PM 974 Views
I have to say I'm very confused about what your question is... and I don't think it's just me. Legolas - 07/03/2017 12:04:27 AM 702 Views
Yes, I'm talking about... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 05:03:18 PM 719 Views

Mind over Matter? Jeordam - 07/03/2017 09:06:53 PM 685 Views
Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually. Legolas - 07/03/2017 10:41:01 PM 763 Views
Let's be clear.... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 11:17:02 PM 663 Views
By all means. Legolas - 07/03/2017 11:58:41 PM 691 Views
Well that's the crux of the topic isn't it.... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 05:48:50 PM 604 Views
That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2017 07:13:32 PM 658 Views
Well that would be the difference... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 08:54:59 PM 713 Views
So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then? Legolas - 08/03/2017 09:40:09 PM 659 Views
What can I possibly say? Jeordam - 09/03/2017 05:45:54 PM 656 Views

I feel like this has been said several times already, in several ways Sareitha Sedai - 10/03/2017 04:10:27 PM 667 Views
It has been said, and I understand what is being said... Jeordam - 10/03/2017 06:01:06 PM 672 Views

That's true - doesn't change the issue as such but certainly there's intolerance on that side too. *NM* Legolas - 10/03/2017 07:45:43 AM 346 Views
