@mxtaverse Yup that monologue by odysseus elevated the movie from good to brilliant
Reminded me of Oppenheimer though, he too was carrying that same guilt of destroying civilisation

Great thread, perfectly mapped the symptoms on to neurocircuitry dysfunction
What sticks out most for me is the notion that human "decisions" boil down to relative concentration of chemicals at specific synapses and what other ways these "levers" can be exploited in treatment, especially non pharmacological

@DoctorPerin Whats the success rate of brief psychodynamic therapy vs classical analysis

I was a non PG JR in the same department, it was like a tradition there, every morning pg would order food for us and interns
They only mentioned it once in front of me, but it didnt feel like it was an atrocity, 1 pg remained separate and didn't contribute for the meals and got his own food separately and nobody complained
I think everything should be taken in context

[Grant H Brenner MD DFAPA @GrantHBrennerMD]

In psychiatry and mental health more generally, diagnosis should be held lightly in most cases until there's really a definitive diagnosis, and always there should be a differential diagnosis. There should always be a psychodynamic formulation which is periodically reviewed and updated as a matter of disciplined course.

One of the greatest errors is locking in too quickly and failing to maintain inferential processes which allow for model updating when new data is acquired, or even preventing the acquisition of new data because of premature model lock-in.

Pleased to share this high-level vision for personalized psychiatric care grounded in psychoanalysis, neuroscience, computation and interventional psychiatry-neuromodulation approaches.

Perfect to skim for a second before swiping to something else🔖

A Tripartite Psychotherapy Model Integrating Personalized Self-State Mapping, Active Inference Therapy, and Experiential Field Theory with Neuromodulation: Foundations and Future Directions for Precision Interventional Psychiatry
in Neuromodec Journal @neuromodec

First, I run through how I see psychoanalysis. A complex but specifiable and empirical process. Practicing it has a great deal of individual variability, even among competent practioners. Because it is fundamentally experiential, to an extent.

There is a section on the case for being able to make real progress, implicitly bringing subject and objective views of mind-brain-person together in an interpersonal context.

Then, some preliminary views on how we might thing about designing a program of studies to get at what we need to understand and be able to do.

Artificial intelligence plays a key role in how people can develop systems which could allow for such personalized, real-time, dynamically-modulated predictive care. That's where the science fiction starts to creep in :)

Deep appreciation to Karl Friston, Michael Levin, Adarsh Gupta and Mark Solms, for providing review and feedback, taking valuable time.

@_kumbhkaran Freud conceptualised it as the "death instinct " If it is directed outside it results in violence, if channelised inside it results in self harm
