From what one of my daughters tells me, its worse than we may realize. She claims that anymore its near impossible to get a job without a Facebook account. Potential employers want access to applicants accounts as part of the vetting process. And then she discovered, employers are recruiting from Facebook. If you don’t have a Facebook account, you don’t exist.
I don’t exist.
Do you mean giving them your password? If so Refuse, grounds for dismissal in a Defense Employment Environment and tell them you refuse to violate your own such standards for data integrity.
If it isn't they are playing armchair shrink or looking @ your Political Bent to see if you are a "Risk" in today's PC environment, and their is nothing to stop them, but in all honesty getting of FB may not be a bad idea.
Oops, “off of Facebook”....
Your reply caused a funny thought.........they’ll probably one day decide that if you DON’T have a Facebook account, your anti-social and a threat to society and prime to be picked up and taken in for mental examination.
Dentists????? Really. Is there any background to support the stat? That is the last field I would have thought of. Maybe dermatologist. Do they say why this is true?
I have a cousin that is a shrink.
She is nuts, but admits it.
Her attitude is it takes one to know one.
Simple but true.
Do dentists have the highest suicide rate?
Perhaps you were on to something with psychiatric doctors being the most likely, at least according to the article.
Here are notes on just what Psychiatry is and where it comes from, from an earlier post.
Study Reveals Anti-Conservative Discrimination Among Psychologists
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2916048/posts
The Psychological Arts as they’re called, are an openly hostile abomination diametrically opposed to every tenet of conservatism.
Carl Jung is their current Guru: their antidote to the human condition.

“1939 An interview with psychiatrist Carl Jung is published in Hearst’s International- Cosmopolitan. In it, he calls Mussolini a man of style and good taste who was “warm and human.” About Hitler, he says, “There is no question but that Hitler belongs in the category of the truly mystic medicine man. As somebody commented about him at the last Nuremberg party congress, since the time of Mohammed nothing like it has been seen in this world. This markedly mystic characteristic of Hitler’s is what makes him do things which seem to us illogical, inexplicable, curious and unreasonable...So you see, Hitler is a medicine man, a form of a spiritual vessel, a demi-deity or, even better, a myth.”
This anti-semitic Hitler worshipper, and his science, were researching seances.

How about Alfred Adler?

The 3 of these A**holes are the founders of the art of Depth Psychology, upon which all the other subdivisions of psych are based or derived.
How about a page of quotes from the psych field?
“Psychiatry’s Views on Conservatives
“In August 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million taxpayer-funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from ‘mental rigidity,’ ‘dogmatism,’ and ‘uncertainty avoidance,’ together with associated indicators for mental illness.”

“Political conservatism as motivated social cognition” By Jost, John T.; Glaser, Jack; Kruglanski, Arie W.; Sulloway, Frank J. APA Psychological Bulletin, May 2003, Vol 129(3), p 339-375”
As for Edward Bernays and Goebbels, Goebbels owned Bernays complete works, which were originally titled Propaganda, and were only subsequently re-labeled as public relations After it was discovered that Goebbels had made extensive use of them.
Whether it’s called psychology or psychiatry it’s all the same knowledge base and its end game is to sell disability and drugs. Here’s what it’s costing us from science writer Robert Whitaker whose spent 25 years covering the psychiatric beat.

The Disability Numbers
There are no good studies yet on the percentage of “early onset” bipolar patients when they reach adulthood, end up on the SSI and SSDI disability rolls. However, the astonishing jump in the number of “severely mentally ill” children receiving SSI speaks volumes about the havoc that is being wreaked. There were 16,200 Psychiatrically disabled youth under 18 years old on the SSI rolls in 1987, and they comprised less than 6 percent of the total number of disabled children. Twenty years later, there were 561,569 disabled mentally ill children on the SSI rolls, and they comprised 50 percent of the total. This epidemic is even hitting preschool children. The prescribing of psychotropic drugs to two-year-olds and three-year-olds began to become more commonplace about a decade ago, and sure enough, the number of severely mentally ill children under 6 years of age receiving SSI has tripled since then, rising from 22,453 in 2000 to 65,928 in 2007 (98)
Moreover, the SSI numbers only begin to hint at the scope of the harm being done. Everywhere there is evidence of a worsening of the mental health of children and teenagers. From 1995 to 1999, psychiatric-related Emergency Room visits by children increased 59 percent. (99)
The deteriorating mental health of the nation’s children, declared U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher in 2001, constituted a “health crisis.” (100) Next, colleges were suddenly wondering why so many of their students were suffering manic episodes or behaving in disturbed ways; a 2007 survey discovered that one in six college students had deliberately “cut or burned self” in the prior year. (101) All of this led the U.S. Government Accountability Office to investigate what was going on, and it reported in 2008 that one in every fifteen young adults, eighteen to twenty-six years old, is now “seriously mentally ill”. There are 680,000 in that age group with bipolar disorder and another 800,000 ill with major depression, and, the GAO noted, this was in fact an undercount of the problem, as it didn’t include young adults who were homeless, incarcerated, or institutionalized.
That is where we stand as a nation today. Twenty years ago our society began regularly prescribing psychiatric drugs to children and adolescents, and now one out of every fifteen Americans enters adulthood with a “serious mental illness.” That is proof of the most tragic sort that our drug based paradigm of care is doing a great deal more harm than good. The medicating of children and youth became commonplace only a short time ago, and already it has put millions onto a path of lifelong illness.

“CONCLUSION
A century ago, fewer than two people per 1,000 were considered to be “disabled” by mental illness and in need of hospitalisation . By 1955, that number had jumped to 3 .38 people per 1,000, and during the past 50 years, a period when psychiatric drugs have been the cornerstone of care, the disability rate has climbed steadily, and has now reached around 20 people per 1,000. (Table 2) . As with any epidemic, one would suspect that an outside agent of some type-a virus, a bacterial infection, or an environmental toxin was causing this rise in illness . That is indeed the case here . There is an outside agent fueling this epidemic of mental illness, only it is to be found in the medicine cabinet . Psychiatric drugs perturb normal neurotransmitter function, and while that perturbation may curb symptoms over a short term, over the long run it increases the likelihood that a person will become chronically ill, or ill with new and more severe symptoms . A review of the scientific literature shows quite clearly that it is our drug-based paradigm of care that is fueling this modem-day plague.”
And yes the drugs are involved, and responsible for decades of mass shootings as they’re concurrently eating us out of house and home in dollars and cents.
Does any of this disgusting nonsense look like a Win in any way for Anyone, let alone Conservatives?
