    Makes sense, staff has relatively limited contact with patients compared to the other patients, and outside of research, what healthy person would get themselves admitted to a psychiatric hospital on purpose?

    It does point to how difficult psychiatric diagnosis is, though. Though other medical fields tend to have the opposite problem, they tend to treat patients with real medical, non-psychological issues as pretenders or people with psychosomatic issues if it’s not immediately obvious that they have a real medical issue.







  • “Annoying” is in the eye of the beholder and many LPers vacillate between annoying and non-annoying anyway. e.g. one of the LPers I used to watch a lot became overly grumpy and mean regarding both his viewers/chat participants and the games he was playing, while putting less and less effort into actually learning the games. IMO he was overworked.

    And even the LPers I like watching, I can’t stand watching them do multiplayer with other people who also have a mic. Always turns chaotic and people shouting into mics, rather than the LPer calmly doing their thing.
