<font face="Calibri"><b>How Miserable Are We Supposed to Be?</b><br>
May 5, 2023<br>
By Huw Green<br>
Dr. Green is a clinical psychologist.<br>
<br>
In my work as a psychologist for people dealing with the aftermath
of significant injuries, I am often presented with the question of
whether low mood in my patients is best understood as a normal
reaction to a serious health event — it’s reasonable, for
instance, to respond to news that you may never walk again with
questions about how life might be different and more challenging —
or as clinical depression that should be treated. This is an
extremely difficult determination to make.<br>
<br>
Part of the reason it is so hard is that there are serious
disagreements about where to draw the line between the two and
even whether it can be drawn at all. Psychiatry’s guiding paradigm
is that some extremes of mood are sufficiently severe that they
constitute illness. But a longstanding criticism of psychiatry
claims that the issues it professes to treat are just ordinary
aspects of the human condition (or “problems in living,” as the
psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, a staunch critic of his own profession,
would have it) that are being unnecessarily pathologized. This
argument isn’t restricted to questions about diagnoses; a version
of it plays out across multiple mental-health-related debates. At
first glance, these can look like separate discussions, but they
tend to boil down to the same central questions: Is happiness
always the goal of mental health treatment? How can we know when
we’re happy enough? How miserable are we supposed to be?<br>
<br>
This debate is perhaps at its fiercest when it involves
discussions around psychiatric medication. The generation of
antidepressants that were introduced in the 1980s were initially
hailed as miracle drugs that could help patients feel, as one
psychiatrist put it, “better than well,” improving their
personalities and resolving depression. In time, however, concerns
developed that such medications blunted people’s moods or numbed
them. Today clinicians and researchers argue interminably about
the minutiae of whether antidepressants really address a brain
chemistry issue or they work by dampening emotions. Are we
treating people who need help or sedating them through the highs
and lows of life?<br>
<br>
Emotions run particularly high around medication, and the same
questions arise in the field of psychotherapy. The intervention
being debated in this case is slower moving, but clinicians still
disagree about the fundamental purpose of the talking cure.<br>
<br>
For those operating in the tradition of cognitive behavioral
therapy, the goal is something like symptom reduction. Moods can
be measured and, with the right approach — by adjusting distorted
patterns of thinking, for instance — improved.<br>
<br>
Existential and psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy frame
things differently, placing understanding and meaning making at
the center. Freud provided a sense of the mission early on with
his comment that the goal of psychoanalysis is to transform
symptoms into “ordinary human misery.” The psychologist George
Prigatano, in his book about the psychological treatment of
neuropsychological disorders, baldly states (quoting Charlie
Chaplin) that “the theme of life is conflict and pain.”<br>
<br>
The basic fault line that runs through various mental health
controversies has to do with the role of misery in our lives.
Misery is inevitable, but we also have a sense that there can
sometimes be too much of it. We don’t want to eliminate misery;
that seems somehow morally dubious and practically impossible. But
nonetheless, it sometimes strikes us that we could be happier than
we are. One way of dealing with this problem is to think in terms
of illness — and, certainly, misery can become so profound that it
starts to resemble an illness.<br>
<br>
Pinning down the broader tensions in these disputes can help
explain what we’re really arguing about. Because these discussions
often happen among clinicians and scientists and because they
often take place in peer-reviewed journals, they have the
appearance of technical debates. The hope appears to be that, with
enough care, we could land on a successful definition of mental
disorder, the correct psychotherapeutic protocol or set of
guidelines for prescribing. This hope is misguided. When we argue
about definitions, therapy and medicines, we are often arguing
about something more significant and overarching.<br>
<br>
How miserable are we supposed to be? It is extremely difficult to
know when low mood trips over into depression or when people’s
thoughts about their lives are distortions. When does emotional
dysregulation become mania? When do idiosyncrasy and magical
thinking become psychosis? This difficulty is what leads us to
outsource such determinations to clinicians and other assorted
experts. Those experts are then imbued with significant power.
They assess and diagnose us and reflect for us a view of how
maladjusted we are. Concerns about this power have made mental
health such a fraught topic. We want clinicians to have some
power, but we worry about it.<br>
<br>
But the power to make determinations about when we are ill and
what constitutes too much distress is actually a power that still
resides, to a great extent, with the general public rather than
specialists. Psychiatrists have tried in various ways to develop a
definition of mental disorder. These can be based on statistical
notions of normality or on theories of mental dysfunction that are
grounded in what is considered natural. Such definitions fall
down, though, as pointed out by the philosopher Derek Bolton,
because statistical rarity by itself does not entail aberration.
And determining mental dysfunction is impossible, given that it’s
apparently hard to agree on how our minds ought to function: Are
we supposed to go through periods of intense, crippling sadness,
or are we not?<br>
<br>
Dr. Bolton resolved this by deciding it was impossible to ground
our notion of disorder in any set of biological or statistical
facts. Mental disorder, he concluded, is more or less whatever a
community decides it is. If you start behaving in ways that are
uninterpretable by your community, you might find yourself in
front of a psychiatrist. The extent to which we are mentally
unhealthy is a function of what starts to seem unhealthy in the
context of people who know us well and are trying to get along
with us. As the psychoanalyst John Rickman succinctly put it,
“Madness is when you can’t find anyone who can stand you.”<br>
<br>
To navigate the question of who should be referred to treatment
for their misery, I need to be guided by medical definitions of
depression. These definitions are what we’ve used to test the
efficacy of treatments, and they translate our idiosyncratic
preferences as clinicians into the professional standards of our
peers. If patients seem sad but still basically engaged with life,
I might aim to support them in navigating their experience of loss
and change through therapy. If their low moods are persistent
across several weeks and they are consistently hopeless, with
disrupted sleep, guilt and negative thoughts, I might refer them
to a psychiatrist to consider medication.<br>
<br>
My thinking about this process has changed. Earlier in my career,
I was concerned about missing “true” cases of depression. Now I
take a more pragmatic attitude. If I refer patients to a
psychiatrist, it is not that I think the underlying fact of the
matter is that they are depressed. Rather, I am aware that some
people are able to benefit from antidepressants — that their lives
can plausibly be made better — and that my patients, because they
resemble other such individuals, may be such people.<br>
<br>
When I ask myself some version of “Are these people more miserable
than they’re supposed to be?” my clinical judgment comes to
resemble something more commonplace than a medical diagnosis. Not
detached from the standards set by my professional peers but now
more grounded in practical considerations about the
intelligibility of a person’s feelings, rather than abstract
technical notions of pathology and treatability.<br>
<br>
The value of this reframing is that it has a sort of democratizing
power. It gives more weight to people’s priorities and their life
contexts alongside the definitions created to guide expert
diagnosis. I am not deciding that they are depressed; we are
deciding together, alongside the community at large, that the
misery has become too much to bear.<br>

Insurance Premiums Rise as Americans Flock to Weather-Worn
States</b><br>
By Debra Kamin<br>
May 5, 2023<br>
The News<br>
Home insurance premiums are on the rise, and a key driver for the
price increase is climate change. Yet, Americans are moving
fastest to Florida, Texas and other states most at risk for
climate-related natural disasters, according to a new study from
LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a data and analytics provider.<br>
<br>
Since 2015, the average homeowner has seen the bill for their
property coverage grow by roughly 21 percent. But in Florida and
Texas, the two states with the highest population gains in 2022,
rates have climbed significantly more — 57 percent in Florida and
40 percent in Texas.<br>
<br>
Those states are also experiencing extreme weather: Hurricanes
like Ian, Nicole and Fiona, as well as record heat, ice and snow
storms, wrought billions of dollars of destruction in 2022 and
killed nearly 500 Americans.<br>
<br>
“The states where climate tends to impact the world more strongly
are seeing a bigger jump in population,” said George Hosfield,
LexisNexis Risk Solutions’s senior director of home insurance. “We
put two and two together, and it seems to be creating a perfect
storm — no pun intended.”</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Scientific research provides a clear link
between climate change and an uptick in extreme heat, flooding,
wildfires and coastal sea level rise across the United States.<br>
<br>
The risk is highest in the Sun Belt region, which is experiencing
rapid growth, yet Americans are moving directly into areas of
danger. Hurricane Ian alone killed more than 150 Floridians,
knocked out power for 2.6 million residents and left Florida with
a bill of nearly $113 billion in its wake.<br>
<br>
Many new residents cite cost of a living as a key factor behind
their moves, but home insurance costs are rising faster there than
the national average, meaning homeowners should brace for sticker
shock.<br>
<br>
In Florida, the average home insurance premium in 2019 was $1,988.
Today, it’s $2,714 — an increase of $726.<br>
<br>
Background: Florida and Texas saw the highest population gains in
2022.<br>
Florida grew by more than 318,000 new residents in 2022,
accounting for a population increase of 1.9 percent last year —
the largest uptick in the nation. Texas, with more than 230,000
new residents, was right on its tails.<br>
<br>
In Colorado, where home insurance costs are up 41 percent over the
last eight years, 5,376 new residents arrived last year,
accounting for half a percentage point uptick in its population.
In South Dakota, 8,424 new residents moved into the sparsely
populated state in 2022, while insurance costs have jumped 39
percent since 2015. In dry, sunny Arizona, where nearly 71,000 new
residents flocked in 2022, costs grew 28 percent.<br>
<br>
Conversely, states that lost significant numbers of residents saw
insurance rates rise much more gradually. New York lost the most
population in 2022 — nearly 300,000 residents — but saw home
insurance jump only 17 percent, several points below average.
Louisiana, West Virginia and Illinois, which took the next three
spots in terms of population loss, also saw slower rate increases.<br>
<br>
California bucked the trend in several ways. Despite being
battered by wildfires and extreme storms in recent years, home
insurance rates there grew by only 25 percent, below the increase
in other coastal states. California lost 343,230 residents,
accounting for a 0.3 percent dip, last year.<br>
<br>
What’s next: Rising costs could compel Americans to forgo risk
protection.<br>
With two out of every three homes in America already underinsured,
skyrocketing prices may tempt homeowners to cut back even further
on disaster coverage, putting them at significant risk when severe
weather strikes.<br>
<br>
They may also forgo additional coverage that they need more than
ever. While mortgage lenders typically require homeowners to carry
home insurance, most policies do not cover floods. With budgets
tight, Mr. Hosfield anticipates that more homeowners will opt out
of insurance for flood damage. “And that puts them in a pretty bad
spot,” he said.<br>

For decades, Americans have been moving south and west. That

won’t be cheap housing, low taxes and plentiful jobs that attract

CO. GAS STATION OWNERSHIP / FRANCHISEE PROMO FILM 13724</b><br>
PeriscopeFilm<br>
7,470 views May 5, 2023<br>
<br>
This mid-1940s film was created by Shell Oil to promote careers in
the service station industry, and tells a sort of American
rags-to-riches story. The film follows the story of a U.S. Army
veteran named Bill, who works himself up from a mere gas station
employee to becoming a franchisee who owns a station of his own.
The footage is mainly of conversations as well as cars being
maintained at full service Shell Gas stations. The services
offered in this era included complimentary gas fill ups, tire
pressure checks, oil checks, and cleaning. The film was likely
shown to people interested in entering into a franchise agreement
with Shell, and probably also shown at local meetings of
organizations like the Chamber of Commerce or Kiwanis. Note: this
print is missing the main title and credits, so we don't know the
exact name of the film or who stars in it.<br>
