Freedom of thought and expression provides a sense of well being, because it provides affirmation that YOU MATTER, and you are free to be yourself.  If you restrict someone's ability to be their authentic selves, this causes distress.  In a dictatorship, you must comply to all the rules of the dictator.  What you say, what you wear, what you express in any way must follow the rules,...

https://asm-foundation.com Pete DePrez PTSD is an injury, not an illness. It is curable if we treat it as such. For over sixty years our medical community has approached PTSD with SSRI’s (anti-depressants), which are virtual cortisone shots for our brains.

It's a character flaw in THEM that they betrayed your trust.  I...
