    I was diagnosed in my late 40s. And yes my wife and I looked it up, and having that diagnosis can only limit the treatment available to me. But the US mental health system is underfunded.

    It’s also impacted thanks to the epidemic and lockdown of 2020. So, it’s going to be hard to be treated in the US unless you have money.

    And then the public serving mental health system is connected to our penal system and has similar abuse issues. One in three inpatients are abused, either sexually or violently, or are put on tranquilizers by the nurse (collaborating with the house psychiatrist) so you won’t be any trouble. If you’re committed in a public institution expect to not get any better while you’re in. And they’ll cover up any harm done.

    (For private facilities, do research in advance regarding their rate of incidents. If you can have legal council available to you do so.)

    So we have to depend on each other for help. So its imporant that we assume everyone else is here in good faith until there’s evidence otherwise. Note a lot of us are not good with interpersonal discourse. A lot of us instinctively mask for fear of harm and persecution — a concern in the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere as the rising transnational white power movement gains momentum and expands its list of undesirables.
