Jane Goodall was one of the reasons I decided to study animal behavior, biology & neuroscience. She was living proof that women DO and *WILL ALWAYS* belong in science. RIP Dear Dr. Goodall 🙏🏼♥️

The secret to pain management?
👉🏼 Reduce fear, stress & anxiety.
👉🏼Engage the BRAIN & all 5 senses, including touch 🧠
👉🏼Distract.
👉🏼Help patients feel safe. Soothe.
👉🏼Lower the brain's danger alarm. 🚨

Kudos to doctors who employ strategies like therapy dogs to lower pain volume 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

This made lol, thank you

It is crazy that in America your lifetime risk of death from a firearm is higher than a car accident

Hi! I appreciate the passion but that's not what the studies show AT ALL. They simply show a correlation between poor sleep & fibro, which is well established. There is nothing in these papers to suggest that SDB *causes* fibro nor that treating SDB is the cure. Sleep is only part of the problem 🙏🏼

Where do these "big three" symptoms come from, are they in the DSM, from research, or is this your observation from clinical work? It tracks for me as a clinician, but I've never heard this before...!

Perhaps. But the points made in this book are a bit different. The author, one of the authors of the DSM, describes how we've expanded the definition of "depression" so significantly that it now encompasses NORMAL human experiences of sadness. We are literally medicating normal all the time now.

Saving Normal by Dr. Allen Frances is the most important book I've read in a decade, hands down. Covers the definitions of "normal" & "abnormal" mental health, & the over-medicalization/over-medicating of society.

5 stars. Recommend to everyone you know ⭐️ #medsky #psychsky #neuroskyence 🧪

Younger daughter and I have been working on prototypes for the small portable museums that will be in my Etsy shop soon. We’ll be making a wooden grid in each tin for the finds & a booklet about the neuroscience of how collecting & arranging your finds alleviates anxiety & lifts mood #mentalhealth

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
