@JonathanShedler I’d say 50% of the value of a good therapist is the empathy, listening, understanding, validation when appropriate etc and the other 50% is the knowledge and experience of psychotherapy to help a person understand themselves and make changes, irrespective of psychotherapy model

"Dog ownership is a particularly attractive mate characteristic to women seeking a long- term mate...owning a dog may signal the potential mate has the material resources to take care of the dog and the emotional resources to bond and commit to the animal" https://t.co/0UjD0iajC5

What helped you through a period of severe mental/emotional distress, and was not a drug, a therapist, or an act of consumption?

The study found that “increasing serotonin made individuals better able to control their behaviour, particularly when exposed to negative information.

The study also showed that elevated serotonin levels benefited different types of memory.”

“Mental health cannot be defined in terms of the "adjustment" of the individual to society, but...in terms of society's [adjustment] to the needs of man, of its role in furthering or hindering [human] development...[health] depends on the structure of society.”

To avoid DSM reification/stigma:

No patient "has schizophrenia" or "is schizophrenic"- lazy/misleading/reductionistic terms

Proper usage: Patient "meets criteria for schizophrenia"

Why?
Mental disorders are constructs- not diseases
People are so much more than their disorder

It’s amazing how much more accessible our motivation to exercise, do focused work, and generally feeling good, is, when we get our sleep-wake rhythms even mostly right. Viewing morning sunlight is a powerful lever to organize all that. It sets the foundation.
