Deathcap and Destroying Angel are both sick metal band names

Deathcap for Cutie

They have similar beliefs about psychiatric medication, right? I had heard that a while ago, is it true that they don't want adherents to be on antidepressants or antipsychotics?

I've seen a few that overlap with certain dietary restrictions and other health practices, like a really narrow restricted form of veganism (e.g. everything plant based AND nothing overly processed AND everything gluten free AND exclude certain oddly specific common ingredients AND be sure to drink this salty fermented cabbage drink every day). I saw one a while ago, on the topic of fermented cabbage drinks, where it basically seemed to be a delusional parasitosis cult where adherents were convinced they had worms/parasites and giving themselves explosive diarrhea by fucking with their diets would cure it. They would see bits of cabbage in their watery ass-piss and think it was dead parasites. I remember a case of a cancer patient being convinced her cancer was actually parasites and that doctors were lying to her so she started just consuming nothing but fermented cabbage and stopped cancer treatment and ended up dying.

Health cults are incredibly dangerous.

edit: for a well known example look at the online community surrounding "Morgellon's disease." It operates like a cult and preys on people susceptible to paranoia/delusions.

on one hand, watching could trigger those issues you mention. But I think the main problem for a doctor autopsying someone they know is the act of physically doing it. it's a gory process and normally I think most surgeons and other doctors who cut people up for a living can compartmentalize well when it's a stranger but doing that to a loved one would make that compartmentalization break down.

on the other hand, I think as a family member or friend, merely seeing the process might actually allow closure, at least for people who can stomach the procedure (some people are just too squeamish to watch any autopsy videos ofc). a lot of people prefer wakes and other ways of physically seeing the body because seeing the dead person allows them to truly internalize the death.
