Totally disagree. I have no stigma about therapy and would tell almost anybody that I've done it. It's not a Big Deal. The problem is that i've found therapy to be of little practical value, and its rituals often absurd. My

Making money is fantastic. Making money from desperate people with pseudoscience is bad. 20% more effective with other treatments. Not what the article says. (It is most unclearly worded.) You have a 20% greater chance of improvement wit

They are still saying that talking therapy is effective! The most generous interpretation of figures in this article is that NNTT for depression and therapy is 5. Meaning one out of every five people treated by therapy will show some im

Therapy absolutely has an effect. That effect, however, happens to be about equivalent to placebo.

The interruptions ended when you were fired/pushed out, because that kind of behavior would be considered outrageous in the workplace, or...anyplace?

Given the number of people currently living whose recent ancestors experienced the trauma of war and oppression, I wonder if it could explain part of the growing incidence of these illnesses that we keep hearing is burdening the health sys

Balding is the most depressing thing. Wish I had started taking Finasteride years ago when I decided the risks weren't worth it.

This, exactly. We aren't talking about a typical annual wage increase percentage, but collusion that effectively set a cap on salaries for certain types of employees couldn't test the market. I'm wildly guessing, but i woul

'Expose different viewpoints' seems along the lines of the 'I'm hoping to encourage a debate' line that people taking on 'hot-take' positions like to hide behind. 'I have a masters degree' is, o

Indeed, it seems as though Drummond's suffered from real setbacks and a lack of true social connectedness. I'm not sure why he would be chosen to be the centerpiece of this article about social perfectionists.

The first rule of apologies is it's only ok to apologize for your own actions, not the behavior or feelings of others.

Not sure I agree it's easier as you get older. Our brains seem to be wired to pick up new languages & skills most rapidly when in youth.

Hacker news is a community of (from what I've seen) strong critical thinkers, with a poster in a thread often having a specific background in the field being discussed. Doctors aren't mythical beings, and discourse here about what

Ah, unfortunately Elena was discredited as a fraud more than a decade ago. In reality she was on an escorted tour through Chernobyl and brought along her motorcycle helmet to use in photos. http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2004

More than a third of people in my country (US) do attend those events, and they are teh de-facto social outlets in many communities. Great to have alternatives.

A simple, and great idea. The post-social media world can be a lonely place and it's nice to see this effort to connect divergent people in a genuine way AFK, and outside of a capitalist or mystical/religious/occult context.

I tried Psilocybin recently, with intent to see what changes the experience might make to my mood and mental outlook. My trip was quite uncomfortable, as others have related. I'm glad I tried mushrooms, however. Upon return to this a

I've read Feeling Good, and found many of its basic premises to be flawed. Conscious thoughts aren't, as Burns claims, always a leading cause of bad feelings. Biological, hereditary, and environmental factors can have a large effe
