A leading psychiatrist seeks to transform our understanding of mental health care and how it fits into larger social and economic forces-and proposes an effective and compassionate new framework for healing. Mental health care in America has become nothing short of atrocious. Supposed developments in treatment methods and medication remain inaccessible to those who need them most. Countless people seeking treatment are routinely funneled into homelessness and prison while a mental health epidemic ravages younger generations. It seems obvious that the system is broken, but the tragic truth is that it is actually functioning exactly as intended, providing reliably enormous profits for the corporate entities who now manage mental healthcare. It is easy to turn a blind eye. Most of us are more comfortable ducking our own fears about mental health and placing our faith in the rugged American individual and the free market, rather than confronting our own prejudices and misguided beliefs. Why did we choose to build such a disastrous system when every other industrialized nation has developed far better models? After decades of work in psychiatry, Dr. Nicholas Rosenlicht reveals how and why we arrived at this abysmal reality-and more importantly, how we can find our way out of it. Timely and unflinching, and written with commanding prose and the deep knowledge of a mental health care veteran who categorically rejects corporate interests, Dr. Rosenlicht makes plain the disastrous outcomes of the for-profit mental health care model. Patients are "clients" and doctors are "providers," stripping away the human element and emboldening shifty ethical and legal practices. Perhaps most insidious, the business model paints the mentally ill as the "other," as people who just don't want help, rather than someone who can't afford care or even realize they need help as a consequence of their illness. But a path forward does exist. Mental illness is something that will touch all of us in some way, if not directly through those we know and love. Those who have already helped care for a loved one know that those who suffer from it have hopes, desires, and aspirations. A healthy solution means a healthier society. In the tradition of Andrew Solomon or Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score, My Brother's Keeper is a paradigm-shifting book that can help us find our way to real and lasting solutions.

Amazing Energy Boost
This gave me an energy boost immediately after I first took it. It worked so well, so fast, I thought it could not be from this product. Nothing works that fast right? But this did for me. This is my first time taking Spirulina. I’ve taken supplements and used energy drinks but none had noticeable effects. This Sporulina does. It is easy to take in this pill form. I curled my fingers in the photo to show how much green residue gets on you when you reach in the bag. It’s a bit more when the bag is brand new. I am halfway through the first, around two months. The green washes off easily with water and does not stain. It does smell like fish. The odor is stronger when the bag is new. It barely has any taste so breathing through your mouth makes it easier to take if you don’t like fish. I like fish, but not strong fishy fish like mackerel. This is medium fishy when new and is still easy for me to take. The energy boost was incredible for me. You might not have the same experience. I am a bit older than middle age male. That likely played into my increased sluggishness. I sleep better after starting to take this. I no longer need to sleep in, and I am not foggy headed all morning. I’ve never been a morning person but now find I can hop out of bed and be ready to go early in the morning. Incredible for me. I now fall asleep easier and stay asleep. When I do get up for the bathroom I can fall right back to sleep. Ive had sleep apnea my entire post HS life and possibly before. This did/will not cure that and I still use a CPAP. I was alway very trim and fit. So I wonder if this would have helped my sluggishness in my younger years. If that is you I would definitely give this a shot. I have no idea what is in this that I needed but it is nothing short of amazing for me. Quality multi-vitamins or greens never did this for me. Hard to beat all that and that a four month is just over $20. Hopefully the price stays there.

Pure energy and nutrition in a scoop
I’ve been taking organic spirulina for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s made a noticeable difference in my overall energy and wellness. The quality of this product is outstanding—deep green color, fine texture, and no weird aftertaste, which tells me it’s truly clean and nutrient-rich. I love that it’s USDA organic, non-GMO, and free from fillers or additives, so I feel confident about what I’m putting into my body. I’ve been adding it to my morning smoothies and even mixing a bit into water or juice—it blends well and gives me an instant boost. Since starting spirulina, I’ve felt more energized throughout the day, and it’s helped curb my cravings between meals. My skin also seems clearer and more vibrant. It’s packed with plant protein, iron, and essential vitamins, so it’s now a staple in my daily routine.

More Hilarious Aristophanes!!!
Format: Hardcover
Here we have a fantastic translator of Aristophanes, Jeffrey Henderson who has translated all 11 of Aristophanes' plays, who in this handy volume presents us with all the remaining fragments of the great comic playwright. Translated and published in 2007, this is a welcome edition to go along with whatever you already know about Aristophanes! I believe that without these fragments of his unknown plays, our picture of Aristophanes is incomplete and somewhat biased. And this goes for Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides as well. People who love the ancient playwrights need to know about what else they did besides what is already out there. That's why I love these Loeb Fragments editions! They reveal so much more about the dramatists' genius, art and ouvre. Here's the breakdown of this ultra-rara Aristophanes volume: 1) TESTIMONIA (of Aristophanes): Life, Father, Mother, Sons, Homeland, Era, Works and Competitions, Actors and Producers, Feud with Cleon, Socrates, Eupolis and Plagiarism, Baldness, Portraiture, Critical Judgements, Metrical Art, Editions and Commentaries, Epigrams. 2) ATTRIBUTED FRAGMENTS (of 36 Plays) 3) UNATTRIBUTED FRAGMENTS 4) DUBIOUSLY ATTRIBUTED FRAGMENTS 5) INDEX This is a fantastic accompaniment to those seeking more comic relief outside Aristophanes' already known plays!
