I guess I’m more concerned about the insurance side. I’ve spent a few years being paranoid about anxiety/depression because that can put you in a tough spot. ADHD does not feel stigmatized? Maybe that’s what I’m asking.

I’m in kind of a weird situation. I’m past my 40’s, and a close younger relative of mine got diagnosed with ADHD and I was talking with their psych and she said “uh it’s pretty clear you have this too., and you’ve been masking.”

So I was already seeing a psychiatrist, for anxiety, paying out of pocket because I didn’t want people in my profession or the health insurance company to know.

I told my own psych about the ADHD idea and she started prescribing stimulant meds to see if it helps.

It’s been amazing. My anxiety has practically melted away and just everything has gotten better for me.

Should I get diagnosed officially now?

On one hand I like the privacy.

On the other hand, my current psychiatrist might retire soon, and also if I have to change jobs, I think I’m required to list any pre-existing conditions.

I’d really like to hear other people’s experiences either way.

So sorry. Please see a therapist if you can afford it, this sounds like a big deal.

That’s a good point, but unfortunately I’ve never seen any evidence that your body does or does not absorb the lead from psyllium fiber, or if the fiber maybe even absorbs more lead from your body on the way through. All I know is that psyllium fiber has lead in it, and that there are other sources of fiber that don’t.

Sorry to rain on your parade but psyllium plants soak up lead, and ConsumerLabs tested different brands and they all had significant lead, and like half of them had more lead than California’s suggested maximum. No way to avoid it. I switched to Citrucel or something generic that doesn’t have that problem.

I may or may not be a lawyer, but if I am, I am not your lawyer and this comment is for entertainment purposes only.

At the core, a non disclosure agreement (NDA) just means you agree to keep your mouth shut about something, often in exchange for hearing about an investment idea or as part of a legal settlement.

Like most contracts, the consequences to the breaker are going to be no more than the actual damages to the other side.

So how much money did it cost them? Or the money value of the reputational harm? That’s probably the most you would be on the hook for. Unless the contract itself enumerates the amount of the “damage” for a breach, but whether they can actually enforce that is a can of worms.

This will hurt US tourism and social media companies more than anyone.

These are misconceptions, or rather a bit out of date.

Wind and solar are much cheaper than fossil fuels now. Significantly cheaper.

And is an old school investment bank presenting this information.

Even for running a car, using solar-produced electricity is a fraction of the cost of gasoline; gas is 3-5x more expensive.

And nuclear is not anywhere near as cheap as wind or solar unfortunately, although we haven’t put much effort into making it more efficient for a few decades now so that might change.
