Obnoxious, but also NOT correct. As another poster pointed out baby talk does serve a purpose in language development, and is a pretty universal part of child rearing. It's not some recent cultural phenomenon that's holding people bad from their full potential (or whatever BS this person is trying to imply). Using big words or skipping the baby talk stage doesn't lead to more rapid or better development.

That's a good clip, well worth the very short time needed to watch it.

Yep, that is exactly how it is in the US as well. Each Individual may vary, but the general thrust of their education is as you said, psychiatrists are generally med focused (technically they complete med school and then specialize in psych) and psychologist completes grad school (PhD. or PsyD.) with the focus on psych and learns a bit about meds (since they are likely a big part of the picture for some patients). Psychologist generally can't prescribe meds (though there are some contexts where they can) and psychiatrists often don't do therapy (though again exceptions exist). BOTH can and do give official diagnoses, though many healthcare systems are set up with psychologists (or other mental health providers LMFT, LCSW, Etc.) seeing and diagnosing first, with psychiatrists reviewing diagnoses only if prescribing meds.

Another poster mentioned needing a psychiatrist for official diagnoses, and that is false in the US.

My quick web search says California outlawed conversion therapy in 2012. Since then there has been attempts to side step it since the language restricts "mental health providers", which is a licensed group. But others can still try to convert people, such as at a camp. Now they can't say they are providing treatment legally, so it seems like California can and did outlaw it, but they are playing whack-a-mole, with people trying to get around the law on language technicalities. CA should definitely plug those holes, but really no one should be believing what these not licensed quacks are trying to sell either.

Yeah it's a shame because there was a time that Toms hardware was so good and often neck and neck with Anandtech in terms of great articles to read, but at some point it became more sensationalist and the line betweens tom's guide and tom's hardware blurred (with tom's guide seeming to take over). There are still nuggets that are okay, but just not like it used to be.

Check your local laws, some states have laws that fertility preservation must be "covered" by insurance when going through treatment that could impact fertility (like starting hormones or chemo). Some healthcare providers/systems do have this down pretty smoothly and might save you some hassle. (Of course you might not be in a place that this applies, but if you are, could be a useful thing to make use of)

*Note: covered doesn't mean free, still subject to your usual co-pay/deductible, etc.

This one exactly. But don't lose hope, the word doesn't really convey figuratively other than online people who mostly sound foolish trying to push buttons. It is usually used as an emphasis when someone wants to say how close to the actual literal situation things were (even if not literally the same). People who use it as "figuratively" are in decline, kind of like people that throw a fit over "moist" and as long as we keep pointing out how ridiculous they are (both moist dramatics and literal confusers) their relevance will continue to fade.
