One of the victims of Seattle's former mayor died of an overdose. Effectively suicide. It does not surprise me that people who were raped as children are more likely to commit suicide (and I think many overdoses are just suicides.) It surprises me that it is not more common.

Normally seen on what menu? I've been to China, never saw dog. Chicken, fish, pork, rarely beef, sometimes lamb. I also never saw a squat toilet.

That's not a reason to effectively imprison someone by preventing them from leaving the hospital. There is nothing irrational about refusing to give a name, and that's certainly not enough to point to a mental disorder that would mean that they would be a danger to themselves or others which is...

No, but I could prove that your phone was on the rock. If that conflicts with other statements you've made... bingo.
