It would seem that people in red states have fewer mood disorders, with some exceptions.
Seriously, now I have a question:Who knows anything about the PTSD epidemic? I always associated post traumatic stress disorder with soldiers who had been in combat, or others who had had extreme experiences—maybe being held hostage, serious child abuse, being a victim of a violent crime, etc. But now it seems like every other person running around Everett claims to have it. Does anybody know anything about this?

I actually have a neighbor on crazy pay. The girl's entire family; most are on disability for this or that; they really work at getting on it; then start pumping the kids out. They are adept at getting on all the programs, energy assistance, quest cards, on and on. The same neighbor had a couple horses, ya on food stamps and can afford to feed horses.

We live in a rural community, little store that charges 3x the price for everything. Reason is the owner, well half his business is with food stamps. He has to charge higher prices to make up what he has to reimburse the feds for taking quest card food stamps.

Over whelms me to see it getting worse with time too; soon as they get on assistance, they are dems for sure come November.

Go spend a few weeks walking around in one of our inner city crime areas.
(I will advise you to carry)

Now ask yourself how many kids growing up there will make it out without experiencing violent crime or having some of the people close to them killed? We have our own little third world type hell holes, but with televisions and air conditioning.

I have had a mood disorder since 2008. And I will have PTSD in 2016. Right now it’s still TSD.
