Great paper linking death anxiety to fear of recurrence and progression in chronic illness. Notably, the more serious the illness, the stronger the relationship. Another reason to screen for death anxiety in general medical settings.

@DrChromo We hope you enjoy it! 👍

[Mortals @MortalsTheBook]

Another example of how our denial and terror of death drive our everyday behaviours. We need to joyfully accept ageing, decrepitude and death. Only then can we truly live.

[Jeff Craig @DrChromo]

We never learn from history, do we? The answer is simpler and cheaper than they think "No, you can't reverse ageing by injecting 'young blood' and fasting. But that doesn't stop people trying" https://t.co/o0Jt5Xrobh via @ConversationEDU
