Or they just get recognized/diagnosed/documented more than than in the 70s or before? | ||

I had a horrific panic attack this year before I had an exam to sit, not fun at all and I'm an arch-rationalist, you just cannot get round it by 'thinking positive' | ||

I don´t get it. thats like the same as saying that people are raping more in modern society than in older society for some particular reason. the numbers havent changed, people are becoming more aware of the problems and how we can help. it wasnt too long ago when homosexuality was thought of as a mental disorder and you were put in prison for it. | ||

That's because back when when science and medicine wasn't as good, and people didn't understand these issues very well, the people with panic attacks, suicidal tendencies and eating disorders were probably just told to "deal with it" and blown off rather than receiving actual treatment, and therefore it wasn't recorded. | ||

Shame on anyone saying DeMuslim should just get over it or implying he is mentally weak for being a victim of panic attacks. I am sure that he is mature enough to rationalize he is safe while traveling (just like I rationalize that I was safe while sparring), but reason and logic arent enough to prevent a panic attack. How about some sympathy for the poor guy, his condition has caused him to miss a major tournament. Look I'm disappointed as a fan. But really, this is an elite sport, and mental incapacity is not an excuse. It just means he will never be a top player, no matter his crazy talent, just like physical incapacity prevents some heroic men and women from winning olympic gold. There's no shame in stating this truth - it doesn't reflect badly on DeMu as a person. But yes, the simple fact is he needs to 'suck it up' and 'get over it', or he just won't ever be where he could/might be as a player. If the condition is severe enough that this is simply not an option, I am sad, but that's the way it is. It's the same as IdrA, whose mental issues are damaging his career too. He threw away what I personally believe would have been 2nd place at MLG due to a negative mental state. Like DeMu, he will either get over it or he will retire having never achieved his potential. | ||
