But don’t all illnesses (including psychiatric disorders) have a genetic component/heritability irrespective of whether organic/physical or psychogenic?

Very Severe ME/CFS:

Trapped, lying,
on a thin layer of ice,
with a bag over your head.

Every time you try shuffle about, to try get the bag off,
or sit up,
you can hear the ice crack.

And you know,
if it breaks,
it’s over for you.

As a person with Very Severe ME, I hate how articles describe ME.

β€œchronic fatigue, some people can’t exercise and work, often people have headaches and nausea”.

I haven’t
* left my bed in 2 years
* spoke in 1.5 years
* heard a human voice in 1.5 years

And that’s how you describe my illness?

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Musk says DOGE β€˜restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Kushner has had illegal investments in West Bank settlements since before Trumps first term as well as a stated interested in taking over Gaza. The Trump, Kushner, and Netanyahu crime families go back decades. This is absolutely a serious plan and it’s done in conjunction with other accomplices.

I don’t buy the idea that the Gaza comments are designed to distract us from the coup. Because not long ago the same people said that the coup comments were designed to distract us from something else. He is chaotic *and* corrupt. There is no pattern or plan. Nothing is impossible.

Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Rivieraβ€”and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen.
