Suggestions of over-diagnosis of mental health conditions miss a key point:
'Diagnosis becomes the main tool for unlocking help. When this is the only mechanism that gives access to medication, therapy or educational support, diagnosis rates rise not because people are exaggerating distress, but because the system leaves them no other route to assistance'!
Its not too much diagnosis, but the struggle to access what little help & support is available!

What looks like ‘overdiagnosis’ is really a system struggling to provide continuous care
Diagnosis rates are rising because the NHS pathway is overwhelmed and fragmented, not because distress is being exaggerated.The Conversation
Well you might argue, since the start of the NHS in 1947, I guess.... but most seriously in the last decade & a half in its most recent iteration of budgetary crisis
Ah, the long view.
Prescription charges was the first crack in the #NHS, introduced in the 1950s.
But yes, 15 years of austerity and putting Humpty back together again is even harder.
@wood5y I would say that is precisely-right diagnosis. If you need treatment or medication in order to feel or get better, you have the condition.
And yes, prescription charges (which we also have here in Finland) are a uniformly Bad Idea, even if only a modest sum. Medicines are not hamburgers, where the customer can realistically estimate their subjective need in the context of their financial situation, finding the market optimum. This is not a market; it requires medical judgment. Too easy to not get treatment for a serious condition that doesn't feel serious, and then becomes chronic or leads to disability or death - orders of magnitude more expensive than any 'savings' on the medicine.
@martinvermeer It's estimated that 25% of people will suffer from mental health problems during life.
I'm beginning to see the over-diagnosis argument as the modern equivalent of the old 'pull yourself together' attitude.
@wood5y Precisely. That was in my mind when I started to write the post, but it fell by the wayside.
Now to be fair, a great many sufferers of autism or ADHD can fully function in society and be valuable members of it with minimal but appropriate support or medication - or even completely without, solely on the strength of a correct diagnosis and the self-understanding that comes with it. But denial is just irredeemably dumb.
yes, that final point is important; diagnosis can lead to improved self-understanding, and through that better ways to 'manage' oneself - here the diagnosis is a route to less expense not more!

▪️ What does the wisdom of the heart mean if AI must be shaped with and for people?
▪️ What does it mean to stay human as AI accelerates?
▪️ What do organisations owe humanity in an AI-driven world?
▪️ Now: mustafasuleymanai ’s idea of “humanist superintelligence” – and what it demands of leaders.
AI is already superhuman in many tasks. The harder question is how we choose to use it.

Several days ago, I was forced into a situation that all too many of my fellow #Covid cautious people deal with on a regular basis: Being around sick people and unable to just leave. In my case, it was Jury duty, and I spent much of the several hours it took to not get picked sitting nearby a woman who was sniffling and hacking up a lung. Meanwhile, the courtroom was a sad symphony of coughs.
I meditated on the breaths through my excellent fit-tested #Envomask, an elastomeric #N95, with my eyes closed as much as possible. Four days and two molecular tests later, I'm feeling fine and no longer anxious.
I hate wearing that fucking mask, but it really does work.

As Roy Lilley (NHSManagers.net) points out:
'The UK has around 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 population. Across much of Western Europe & the OECD, the figure is typically between four & eight. Germany; eight beds per 1,000, France around six, Italy three & a half'.
Driven by ideas from Just-in-Time manufacturing the NHS has little spare capacity even before any surges. The winter crisis is not seasonal its a symptom of a service with too little slack being run on mistaken grounds!

It way past time that we stopped considering the NHS model as sacrosanct, and had a good look at how others do it better....
1. Diagnostics - pathology and radiology. Screening programmes. This would improve early diagnosis and treatments in less bed intensive settings.
2. District Nurses - probably the most undervalued staff by decision makers. They have the skills to support patients in the community where they usually prefer to be treated.
And of course tackle the health/social care interface disaster.

How's the Australian social media ban for under 16s going? Do we know yet if they have a defined list of networks, or a definition of "social media"?
Because to me, that's the biggest hurdle.
I guess there's no point in asking if any of my followers are under 16 Australians, eh? If they were, and were complying with the law, they wouldn't see this. 😉

首先是这个 permalink token, 主要体现在当你想要新建一个文件 你输入
```hugo new “posts/test-content.md"```
会收到
```WARN deprecated: the ":filename" permalink token was deprecated in Hugo 0.144.0 and will be removed in a future release. Use ":contentbasename" instead.```
那么请走到你的网站文件夹的根目录下，找到 config 文件（我的是 config.toml），里面有一段
```
[permalinks] posts = "/:year/:filename/"
status = "/posts/:year/:filename/"```
把这里的 ":filename" 都换成 ":contentbasename"
更新通告说这样以后可以有更多很棒棒的用法，但是我还啥都没用上，反正先改了再说，不然以后跑不起来。
第二点是从 v 0.123.0 就更新的 gohugo.io/methods/site/lastmod…
如果你在试图运行 hugo 的时候收到了这个提示
```ERROR deprecated: .Site.LastChange was deprecated in Hugo v0.123.0 and subsequently removed. Use .Site.Lastmod instead.```
意思就是你用了过时的说法 "LastChange"，这个通常在页脚版权声明里会用到，我的就在 '/layouts/partials/footer.html' 里面有这么一行，只要把 LastChange 改成 Lastmod 就行了。注意⚠️ "Lastmod" 这个中间的m是小写的 我也不知道为什么这次是小写的上次是大写的 随便他们吧
第三！如果你跟我一样抄了忘记是哪个好心人写的 neodb 短代码，那么里面有一行 ```{{ $dbFetch := getJSON $dbApiUrl $dbType }}``` 这个现在会报错，因为
```ERROR deprecated: data.GetJSON was deprecated in Hugo v0.123.0 and subsequently removed. use resources.Get or resources.GetRemote with transform.Unmarshal.```
所以把这一行改成
```{{ $dbFetch := dict }}
{{ with resources.Get $dbApiUrl }}
{{ $dbFetch = .Content | transform.Unmarshal }}
{{ end }}```
然后在 config.toml 里加一段白名单
```
[security] [security.http]
methods = ["GET"]
urls = ["neodb.social/api/" , ]```
但是好像neodb的api连接改了所以现在还是显示不出来！家人们有啥办法再教教我
