Australia's children's commissioner Anne Hollonds has seen "nothing" to address gaps in community and support left by the teen social media ban.

A year after first raising the alarm, Hollonds says we need to take a "good, hard look at the unmet needs" of vulnerable kids.

Despite one in four sufferers being under 65, experts say there is a common misconception that strokes only occur in older people. Mental well-being is key to recovery but is often more difficult for younger stroke survivors.

Covid-19 roughly doubled the risk of vascular dementia in adults 50+ and for those with pre-existing mental illness the risk rose ~5x.

A similar signal appears after other viral infections - a reminder that viruses aren’t "mild" when it comes to brain health 🧠

question, did you do the waist with the proper locking insertion step? because I've found locking ball joints tend to go really loose when i dont realise they are locking and i force it past the tab

either way, agreed it's a wonderful little kit

i think its a muscular control issue for me so im not sure if that would help

only worried about it becoming a long term thing because its happening in the same extreme states of fatigue where things previously showed up then later became constant or at least very frequent things as ive declined

hey #NEISvoid people

does anyone have any experience with your eyes being much harder to use when fatigued and medicated? it leaves me really struggling with focusing me eyes or keeping them coordinated together to avoid double vision

then once I've rested and it's worn off its gone back to normal

people have been really weird about this one

i suspect because it's the first time they've been noticeably inconvenienced thanks to the price increase

as you said, if they actually cared about a game being unfinished or badly optimised or lazy slop, SV should have been the deal-breaker

at least good to see mention of how this kind of cptsd can destroy you.

a lot of the time when there is discussion around mental health or ending your own life, cptsd and other factors that drive it get brushed under the rug

the kind of stuff that is actually inescapable in life

a news clipping. it reads as follows

Sally said Neve had suffered daily flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive memories and unrelenting hypervigilance, believed to be related to complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) stemming from childhood sexual abuse.

In times of this deep post-traumatic distress, Neve had made numerous attempts to end her life as she struggled with overwhelming pain and hopelessness.
