Just heard about the passing of Robin Williams in what is assumed to be suicide. ARGH!!! When will we finally get a clue and start teaching mental health as much as we harp on eat your veggies and run 20 minutes per day??? Teaching kids young what is normal, what is not, what FEELS HUGE but is completely transient or irrational, what is anxiety, what is reality, how to manage our minds to keep them from going off the rails.....THAT is useful knowledge. AND would help curb the obesity epidemic (people often eat to squash down feelings) AND would reduce health care costs (stress causes problems in the heart and immune system and even the brain). We are totally ignoring the firestorm in your head which can erupt at ANY moment. We are giving you no resources, no clue, nothing to watch for (because these things do not just BAM! happen one day, it is a process of the thoughtlife of the mind). We are just telling you that if you get to the point where you cannot get out of bed, drag yourself into a doctor to prescribe stuff to you. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THATS HOLY, EAT YOUR CARROTS AND AVOID POTATO CHIPS aka POTATO POISON!!! How about teaching reason and ration and understanding, using the brain to deal with the mind? Such waste. Such senseless waste.
