On another note:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Waqidi#Criticism
'The Satanic Verses,' was based on writings by Islamic Historians (al-Waqidi and al-Tabari) from over 1,000 years ago, one of whom has detractors (mostly who claimed he fictionalized by embellishing details of the story of Mohammad, a bit like how people perceive pseudepigrapha texts in Christianity as not consistent with known traditional information.) Rushdie's name popped up over time following the attacks by Muslims on free speech (such as the Danish newspaper attack for depicting Mohammad in 2005.)
Incidentally, someone was praising his attacker who themselves went to a Peshawar Pakistan school known for its massacre by the Taliban in 2014, and I doubt they can rationalize how such attacks are justified. Only the irrational can't see past the ignorance, and the suicidal attackers are particularly brainwashed following Ayatollah Khomeini who radicalized them.
Religion is mostly used by/for people who seek to empower themselves vicariously through pathos sentiment, and it's not immune to just those with religious beliefs, as evidently any government has been proven capable of doing the same evils (it's humanity that is the true evil.)
And yet, Mohammed was a constructed political tool for an existing Quran.

The cure for burnout (hint: it isn't self-care)
Stress and personal life experiences cause physiological effects which can create a new "normal," that can compromise health (this is definitely among the new frontiers of study.)
Jordan Peterson describes a well-known issue with why substance abuse problems exist, and how people in certain socioeconomic backgrounds who have little positive life trajectory turn to pain killers, as that is one of the symptoms of emotional trauma.
A lot of odd coping strategies are emotional stunting until it compartmentalizes into maladaptive behaviors. American (USA) culture tends to exacerbate a lot of the problems.
