Many years ago, I lived in a barracks that had some kind of bug problem, to which the Air Force sprayed down the place with some new and fairly odd smelling scent (I'd describe it as ultra citrus....to the extreme...like you squeezed a lemon over your upper lip every 3 minutes).
Then they brought us all into a TV room and explained it was ultra safe and nothing unsafe at all. Over the next six hours....probably five guys presented themselves at the base emergency room and hyped-up that they were about to collapse or faint.
I should note...whatever it was...marginally took care of the bug problem, and we thought the five guys were aiming for some disability situation later on in their career.
So today, I noted some report from Comprehensive Psychiatry (a monthly medical journal)....where "social contagion” through prolonged social media use can explain why some teens, mostly adolescent females, self-diagnose their purported rare mental illnesses and personality disorders online. “
In simple terms...teens were getting some type of information via social media, discussing it with other teens....then doing a self-diagnosing session over a mental illness invention.
Yeah, they were making themselves mentally unbalanced.
So when you think about this...after they were artificially reaching a stage of unbalanced....then they had to go over to a mental health clinic....to recover from their personality disorder that they invented.
Social media bombarding them constantly? More or less.
You could easily be convinced by age fifteen that you were heavily into bondage or some real kinky stuff, and need serious intervention to reach reality.
What's interesting here....for those of us over sixty.....the worse you usually worried about was acne, crappy food at the school cafe, or some kid throwing up in a classroom. A whole new world of being mentally unbalanced opens up.
