@psyacademy_@SergioParra_ Yo le pondría ojo a lo que dice : y lo digo yo hace años ya ; el diagnostico es un mapa y el mapa no es el territorio . Hay capas dentro de la identidad y no todo lo explica un diagnostico .
@carlos_arnaud Lo comentamos en uno de sus post . Hay que ponerle más atención el hipotalamo de lo que estamos poniendo hoy . Y en el estrés metabólico o las consecuencias de Neuro inflamación .
Cuídate solo. Y prometieron seguridad . Ese doble discurso tan conocido . Estoy a un minuto de creer que como país tenemos estrés post traumático. Porque eligen siempre al agresor
"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life."
In #APieceofMyMind, a psychiatrist and residency program director reflects on an unexpected #LungCancer diagnosis.

@carlos_arnaud@LillyDiabetesIn Pensemos que el hipotálamo es un gran centro regulador de conducta por supuesto que algo que actúe ahí nos depara noticias a los psiquiatras. Expectantes con el circuito dopaminergico
@karenszia@AleSomnologa Estoy de acuerdo ! La clínica siempre manda y es mejor cuando la persona que evalúa se ha dedicado a más cosas que solo a ver autismo . El problema es que los psiquiatras ( que deberían ser los que diagnostican a los adultos no se actualizan )
The ‘missing link’ in Long COVID / MECFS might be interoception. 🚨
This gets misunderstood as “perception”.
It’s deeper than that, largely outside conscious control, like an autonomic system.
Example you ask?
“ When people viewed virtual avatars with coughs or rashes, their brains triggered an immune response.”
“Blood glucose levels seem more responsive to PERCEIVED time than actual time.”
Both outside your awareness!
Another example is sleep.
You can’t think yourself asleep.
So while the initial trigger may be an infection or injury setting off pain, hyperarousal, neuroimmune pathways etc what may be maintaining the condition is interoceptive dysfunction.
Think of it like a dashboard that is sending multiple signals.
Multiple signals = allostatic load = ongoing immune/ endocrine etc dysfunction and the cycle continues.
In many moderate–severe cases, interoceptive dysfunction may keep the system in chronic arousal, with downstream “threat” signalling across domains:
-Immunoception
-Gastroception
-Cardioception
-Pulmoception
Thus neuroimmune, endocrine, ANS changes may be effects as well as causes.
They may trigger the illness.
BUT
Sometimes they’re maintained by persistent arousal + prediction error.
“Patients with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS had significantly higher interoceptive sensibility and trait prediction error, despite no differences in interoceptive accuracy.” ( Sharp et al,2021)
Multiple treatments are proposed in MECFS / POTS / LC with no specific treatments that can be generalised ;
BUT
A common recovery signature ( IME) is improved interoceptive accuracy + predictability = safety for the brain ( ⬇️threat)
Think of it like the dashboard that isn’t sending multiple confusing signals anymore not because the signals stopped necessarily but because the coding of those signals changed from threat to safety.
It’s neglected because it’s conflated with ‘psychosomatic’ and that’s a shame.
