twenty psychiatrists paid most received $43 million from drug companies 2021 to 2024. the median person was paid on 81 different dates and had company-paid travel to 83 cities in 20 states. that is a paid talk every three or four days, all year. https://t.co/nTOgds7xcR

3,755 students who could not sleep. half got an online sleep course: same wake time every day, out of bed when you cannot sleep, no catching up.

seventy-five minutes a week. brisk walk. that is the dose.

fifteen studies, 190,000 adults, followed for years. half the official exercise target: eighteen percent less depression. the full target: twenty-five. past that, nothing more.
