Newsome wipes the floor with DeSantis.

My annual Medicare check-up comes with this. A week or so before your appointment, they send a detailed questionnaire for you to fill out online. The physician then goes over it with you and discusses any anomalies. They ask questions about depression, domestic problems, being able to pay your bills, loneliness, social circle/friends/family, worry, symptoms of mental struggles like despair, insomnia, lack of interest, anger, etc. These would be good questions to ask any patient, not just we elders.

I had one on my last one too. All geared to assessing depression, nothing else. Not sure if it's new or just an over-65 thing. Either way, it's a good start.

Still, a mental health check for everyone would be a good way to identify people with issues. Teen suicide is a major issue. Even though the rate dropped in 2022, one teen suicide is still one too many much less 6000. Especially since most are preventable.

While overall suicide rates continue to rise, fewer adolescents and young adults are taking their lives, according to federal data released this week.

The findings are a bright spot amid an ongoing national mental health crisis, but experts say it’s too early to tell whether young people are starting to turn the corner on widescale depression and anxiety.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s preliminary suicide data for 2022 show the overall suicide rate ticked up in the past year from 14.1 to 14.3 among every 100,000 Americans.

That includes nearly 500 suicides among children ages 10-14 and more than 6,000 among young adults ages 15-24—the first decline in suicides for young people since a pre-pandemic spike in 2019.

Suicides among those ages 10-24 have risen fairly steadily for more than a decade, with a particularly sharp spike after the pandemic. But 2022 saw an 18 percent drop in the suicide rate for young adolescents (2.3 per 100,000) and a 9 percent drop in the suicide rate for older teens and young adults (13.9 per 100,000) compared with 2021. (Suicide rates for younger children were too low to provide preliminary data.)

At 8 months if u cut a baby from the womb put it on a table it can live, why? because it s a living human cries and feels pain etc

If u put an embryo on the table it does nothing...does not cry or feel pain etc





an u freeze a fetus for 27 yrs? Nope it will die...an embryo is not a fetus

Then why not say no abortions during the last 2 months of pregnancy unless for the life of the mother? That's 28 weeks and would probably get some approval from the left even if it only stops a handful of pregnancies because nobody gets an abortion after 28 weeks anyway. It might shut you assholes up that they are being performed this late because they aren't.

Because it's not about abortion, it's about controlling women.
