| Many physicians (who can and do prescribe mental health medication) are probably much more familiar with the ICD than the DSM-5 since it is what they use for most disorders, and what they probably learned in medical school. That depends a great deal on where they went to medical school and what the... |

| acetaminophen synergistically boosts the effect of narcotics which it is often paired with in combo medications such as vicoden/lorcet. Not all of the effects, just the pain killing effects. Acetaminophen blocks pain signals, morphine and other opioids alter how we perceive them. When acetaminophen... |

| That actually makes sense. It's also worth noting that the ICD is a lot broader than the DSM is. The DSM is just for psychiatry and psychology and isn't necessarily intended for use outside the US. Which is another issue that has become more of an issue over time as the culture has continued to bro... |

| The job I'm currently working is the longest I've worked anywhere continuously. That's a little over 4 years. Although, I will be quitting in the near future as I've been treated extremely disrespectfully lately and key people in various departments are headed for the exits. I don't know for sure, b... |

| I'm surprised it's being used at all in the US, but given how bad the DSM 5 coverage of various disorders was, an ICD version is likely to be adopted until and unless another home grown book is adopted. I'm not up enough to know when the ICD 11 came out, but it can take time for the necessary system... |

The USPS used to deliver 7 days a week and multiple times a day. It was possible in some cities to have a complete back and forth via email in one day. |

| Seinfeld was also a product of the post war New York Jewish scene. His point of view may seem alien if you're not somewhat familiar with that. For a long time, my best friend was a Jew from Brooklyn and I had a lot of exposure to that. But there was always going to be a lot of Americans who wouldn'... |

You have to be over 35 to remember when Seinfeld went off the air. His audience is aging out of the demographics most advertisers want.
You also have to be over 30 to remember when Bill wasn't a sell out. |

It's frustrating for more progressively minded people, but it's better to bring people along with you rather than try to force your progressivenes... |

| No. Nothing against autistics of course but they'd be pedantic, get hung up on tiny details, miss the big picture, have meltdowns, and disagree on everything because there'd be no hive mentality. They'd want everything a little too individuated which would cost a fortune in taxes. It's hard enough ... |

| People do that because they're not always sure if it's possible at all. I find that it's best to just answer the question and ask if they want it done, or if it's a question for future reference. At least that way, I've eliminated the extra mental work of trying to guess what they actually want, rat... |
