Suicide Remains a Leading Cause of Death, Yet It’s Mostly Preventable
This is an interesting take on life in a mental health treatment facility and how different patients get treated differently.

Having fun is time that could be spent on any of these accomplishments.
I’d flip that around. What’s the point of all of those accomplishments if you never have any fun?
