This is the first episode in a three-part series dedicated to the topic of mental health. Rick and Tim talk about how mental health encompasses your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences cognition, perception, and behavior and it determines how an individual handles stress, interpersonal relationships, and decision-making. Why does society ignore those dealing with mental health problems? For example, Britain's Royal Family? Chronic drug use creates mental health problems and creates abusive relationships. Trauma. Rick shares how he was at the breaking point with the loss of his family and how he is holding it together. Dealing with grief along with his home security being challenged by Portland's drug-addicted homeless has added to his shaky mental health. Tim shares how he witnessed Rick lose his cool with a trespassing vagrant on drugs stealing property. Tim asks, "Do the homeless on drugs deserve any empathy?" Rick has a surprising answer and states drugs are a choice, and the decision to destroy your own life from drugs does not give you the right to destroy other people’s lives —and the right to hijack our neighborhoods. Tim defends the drug-afflicted by saying their decision-making skills are impaired from the drugs they are taking. Has the Covid lockdown stopped us from being able to communicate effectively? By locking up the drug addiction population and being punitive, does that perpetuate the cycle of trauma? Does peer outreach provide an answer? Is white rage a mental health problem? Do Trump cultists suffer from a shared psychosis? In this week’s “Let’s Trigger Rictor” segment, Tim succeeds in setting Rick off in regard to accepting people who choose drugs over friends and family. Clips include The Daily Show with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry talking about mental health, Tiktokker crookedcounselorcooper, and a clip of Flat Earthers at a Flat Earther convention. And you think you have problems?
