Since this is a science sub, can you back your assertion up with some kind of evidence?

Reply to Researchers has found a link in sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A study found sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. by Wagamaga
I have BPD and the only medication that I'm regularly prescribed is melatonin. When my sleep is bad, I start to spiral and I get so unwell that I can't effectively engage in therapy. The worse I get, the worse I sleep. Sorting my sleep out is always the first step we (me and my doctor and shrink) take towards getting better.

Which can then be transformed into carbon and breathable air :)

Most hair-dressers I know smoke. So it’s probably that which will kill them, not the hairspray chemicals.

No sorries. Thanks for writing it!
I felt similar. Tried meds, depression dissappear, but was left with pure apathy.
I've been doing a twice weekly DBT since. The results are palpable.
(I'd love if you could share any of the readings/things you find helpful.)
There for sure is not a make it all better pull.
Most research shows therapy is more beneficial than meds for PTSD.
(Best results are meds + therapy.)
A very sincere thank you for sharing.

Why do you think people used lye to straighten black hair? Because it worked.
They don't have healthy processes/chemicals which achieve the same result.

It's a different hairdressing skill set. Often, a black person might want to have a hair procedure done that takes 6 hours or more. (Braiding).

Wouldn’t this be true of hairdressers of all ethnicities?

Less than what's already in the ocean in terms of radioactivity.

Reply to COVID vaccines and first boosters provided protection to pregnant women during Omicron surge. Looking at unvaccinated women, you still have an increased death rate, and increased neonatal mortality.

The African hair market is different from the European hair market. The products you're thinking of are different and have nothing to do with treatments that would be applied to African hair. Relaxers, for example.

50 years ago they inhaled lead like it was no ones business. Sorry we don’t want brain damage like you boomers. No wonder you resorted to violence because people were “annoying”.

Maybe PoC should be more comfortable with their natural hair. Why shouldn’t that be normalized?
The only “product” i use as a white person is head and shoulders once every few days.
The natural hairstyle of PoC should be ok right?

Idk, why haven’t they? Clearly there are products on the market that don’t have this problem.

Obgyn MD checking in
Without getting into the weeds of which vaccine does what for which variant
COVID infection during pregnancy has been ASSOCIATED with about a 40% incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia
Fallout from this is less well studied but that can increase incidence of preterm delivery (which has its own issues) increased need for induction of labor at 37 weeks rather than showing natural labor to occur and increased risk for c section
