The most troubling aspect of all of this is the media and public fascination w/another person's troubles and anguish.

I personally have never been a proponent of using elctrotherapy for mental disorders. But I'm not a doctor. JMHO.




I as many on here know that I suffer from many mental conditions. The most troubling is the fact that I am bipolar. Last year near this time i was hospitalized because of it. I was in a deep depression and was suicidal. I underwent 10 ECT treatments. I can honestly say they worked very well. I have been relatively stable over the past year. I still have manic and depression stages but they have not been as severe.

I suppose it has been that way for a long time.....but troubling indeed.

We have become a society of tabloid readers and entertainment/gossip show watchers.

I suppose we are no different on here...we(all of us) seek out every tidbit of info we can find on the Browns....doesn't matter if it is real or not.:shrug:


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

And before that women congregated at the beauty parlor and talked about their neighbors and men did it over a checkers board at the general store. They had compassion for the genuinely afflicted and distrust for the wealthy..... nothing has really changed except the volume and reach of the information we recieve... human nature remains what it has been for a long time...

You might want to do a little research on the illness she has. Something didn't have to happen to "trigger" all of this. It's not like that.




Not to nitpick; but this isn't entirely true. The use of many psychactives has been known to precipitate or exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders.

So if Brit has been using drugs, then it is quite possible that it has accentuated latent disorders.

Not saying that that is the case........but it could be a possibility.







Try reading the entire thread and pay a little closer attention.

You could do the same for me. I'm easy, being sick and all.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make.

Excusing bad behavior because it has been done a long time is an excuse. My point is that it is sad that society almost takes delight in the suffering and misery of others.

I don't care if it started yesterday or thousands of years ago. It's still wrong.
