It's funny your term "vortexing" has an actual name in the world of psychology, it's called dissociation. Anyway well done for realizing these things, it's taken me years of continued therapy to keep making progress on…
The "Chemical Imbalance" hypothesis is extremely simplistic and seems very appealing to believe amongst the HN crowd. Unfortunately the evidence for it has been sorely lacking and within the past couple of decades more…
Try psychodynamic therapy, it works to treat the root causes of depression, not offerring a magic chemical imbalance pill that makes you dissassociate from the root causes of sufferring.
The golden standard of depression treatment is long term talk therapy to actually work with the qualitative nature of ones depressive thoughts and sufferring and resolve those feelings, not magic chemical imbalance…
Your appeal to reductio ad absurdum here fails because it's not established that SSRIs work by restoring an imbalance. SSRIs are only little more effective than a placebo, suggesting there's something deeper at play…
Glucosamine is taken a lot by runners as its promoted as a suppliment that helps cartilidge in the knees. Runners are unlikely to be current smokers and more likely to be working their lungs in a healhty way.
With all the common sense replies explaining why, I guess this was not the real question at all.
I think "social construct" is the term you're looking for and yes every culture on earth relies on social constructs to navigate reality.
I'm not saying porn should be banned, I'm just think people are misinformed that there are no consequences to it, or that it's harmless. Just like the solution to drug addiction isn't making drug usage illegal, neither…

People will just be giving you advice based on their own subjective values. It might be stuff like "spend more time with your family" or "make sure you're contributing to your pension" or some other abitrary thing…
Not to mention the fact that neither comment says which country or region they're based in. I suspect these things can vary a lot by geography, yet both are making very generalized statements.
Vaccinations can bring us closer to herd immunity too. Or at least take the load of the hospital system by covering off the vulnerable population.
Also amusing that the HN title omitted the word "rare" from the title of the original article (and is the only change). Can't help but feel there was a specific intent behind that decision.
An obvious example of this is pop music. Often following the verse chorus form and also different genres having different constraints in terms of instruments used.
I only skim read the article, but I think it's missing a key section which is "strong relationships". Having the right people around you and having a sense of connection with those people can have a dramatically…
I think it is a remarkable achievement regardless of young or old. I think it would be difficult for both adult and children, but achievable by both, just very tedious.
Thank you for going to the effort of letting me know that. I will be checking out the book. Knowledge can definitely be power when healing.
Fair enough, I did probably knee jerk or interpret things in the wrong way. Will give it a go perhaps. I'm currently using the headspace app which I suspect is a similar approach.
That would explain why I've been using dreams as a sort of indicator of progress for my time in therapy and working through my anxiety and depression. Certain things I've been anxious or angry about and held on to have…
What cultural practices are you referring to? Every non-white cultural practice? That would be proving my point. I never stated there was value in every non-western cultural practice, only that the value that actually…
