Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hawaii and other island cultures have a very distant relationship with modern mental healthcare...
Culturally "hearing the ancestors" isn't always a bad thing and "there's no harm in listening" is common communal advice. As such people just don't see a medical professional until law enforcement is involved. With the dad being a Senator, that takes something big or public like this.
But, when most people are referring to "voices" they mean more like gut instincts, those populations still experience normal rates of mental illness just like everyone. So when those people hear the advice "listen to the voices and think about what they're saying" is literal dangerous advice.
The Gabbord family seems to be Vaishnava, and I don't know how that religion views the concept. But like I said it's a cultural thing and usually sticks around after religious conversions, that's how important it is in oceanic cultures.
Jesus fucking Christ. Hawaii is a modern state with mental healthcare and people who go to that healthcare. The Gabbards being in a literal cult has a lot more to do with this than "island culture".
givessomefucks constantly makes shit up on vibes and then confidently asserts it; they've blocked me because they didn't like seeing me call out their constant stream of ass-pulled misinformation.
I don't know how it relates to Vaishnava, but Tulsi herself has been involved with a group that has been called a cult.
This is the dodgy archive site, but no paywall:

The whole family was raised in the cult. The parents are kind of inner circle.
Should change your name to spouts some bullshit.
