I think you're just not familiar with psychiatry terminology. Mental illness and mental disorder are largely used interchangeably. The word illness is not a strictly defined word in medicine in general (whereas disease versus disorder

I have a family member that works at a company like that, they do basic skills training and then try to match the people with jobs. They end up mostly with people that were desperate for a job, meaning their disorder was bad enough they cou

I also worry about publish backlash if the neurodiversity movement continues to pick up steam. An increasing fraction of the general public is likely going to disagree with the enabling, and when that happens it usually involves an overcorr

DSM-5 literally stands for "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition". It does not include things like epilepsy, migraine, cluster headaches, stroke, or brain tumor. It doesn't even really include

Again, I'm not sure you're reading what I wrote. These message boards discourage social interaction. That is straight up a counterproductive response, and it leads to people developing bad coping techniques that worsen their sit

People who actively use the term "neurodivergent" to describe themselves are more often than not part of the crowd that is proud of these traits. They are generally well aware they are atypical but do not view themselves as having

There absolutely is evidence that social skills training can help individuals with Autism, and a big part of that training requires real social interactions to practice while slowly building up skills. Additionally, social anxiety is often

Maybe a long time ago, but ADHD is in the DSM-5 and the ICD-11 now, which are the main references for diagnosis of mental illnesses. ADHD has a direct impact on abilities like emotion regulation and impulse control, it makes much more sense

Nobody is saying people should be thrown into the proverbial fire, but the answer is absolutely not to encourage disengagement. This is true across many disorders. To treat an anxiety issue you slowly introduce increasing amounts of the tri

Actively avoiding social interaction even when it is causing the person to stagnate in their career or have family issues. Not needing to apologize for or otherwise address situations where the person said something legitimately mean. Obses

I certainly wouldn't call it the next stage of evolution, but it does seem to be increasing in prevalence with at least some of the cause lying in genetics: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/full

There definitely are neurodivergent people who think that way, I'm not sure what proportion but I've absolutely seen it IRL in addition to the messaging being rampant online. In some milder cases I can see the argument, but I agre

I agree email isn't the best for social communication, but I find it silly young people would get upset about needing an email address. It seems pretty obvious to me that an email is required for a number of basic adult functions, espe

This depends how you interact with the site though. "fake news" warnings will appear on links even if you navigate directly to the page of the person who posted it. Even worse, Twitter has blocked certain stories from being sent v

It depends how much time he spends per day, no? I always thought of Duolingo as something you do in 15 minutes of downtime here or there. Nowhere near the level of time commitment that a class would be.

Oh for sure, I started out doing molecular biology so I dealt with missing methodology details all the time there - certainly some things make sense to leave out, but there were also cases where it took trial and error to replicate because

As a student working on some theory papers, I wish this kind of thing would go in an Appendix somewhere. Is it left out because it's not worth the effort to include compared to the number of people that would actually read it? Or is it

Given that most people were locked inside for a year, and those who didn't get COVID are even more likely to have followed lockdown rules, any control group measured right now would be reflecting the "locked inside" condition

For those that want to do something like this regularly you might consider the ReMarkable tablet, which has a Chrome extension for sending website print outs to the device. It is essentially just high tech paper, so very little potential fo

Interesting, I could definitely see it being some sort of weird environmental effect, I'm not convinced it's an attack.

We understand so little about the brain I'm not sure how meaningful a label like FNSD is. I bet there are a bunch of issues that could be classified as FNSD today but will be one day understood as different well-defined disorders. And

My understanding was that objective physiological differences were found in the original group reporting "Havana Syndrome", and clearly the government is still claiming it is real. Your link doesn't mention Havana at all - wh

I agree there needs to be more accountability, but IME some of the worst offenders with bad studies were the people putting the most hours in the lab. So I wouldn't conflate hard work and honesty here - most of the dishonesty isn'

Totally agree. I do think most times I hear people saying "follow the science" they are saying it to someone that is being anti-intellectual. But at the same time the "follow the science" people usually give horrible cou

I think it depends on the risk/reward of not following the science - as an example, there was debate about whether ibuprofen worsened the effects of COVID early in the pandemic. MGH basically came out and said that while the research w

It's also the norm in some fields to provide only high level info in the methods section, often without supplemental method details accompanying. This makes it even harder to tell if they did the work correctly, because usually half th

I'd guess that's pretty field dependent. What you're saying matches my experience with biology profs - technically once they get tenure they could chill out, but then they wouldn't have any funding for research anymore,

What you're saying is true, but people don't always do what actually makes them happy - see addiction. There are teams of people out there building social media sites, games, etc. that are designed to keep you on there as long as

ECT was certainly way over applied back in the day, but it's made a bit of a comeback in recent years for treating severe depression. In the sense that clinical trials are science, it's definitely science. It's true we don&#x

Yes you are right about NYC, and the same is true in Boston - it's been explained repeatedly in this thread why the broker fee is not at all equivalent to a landlord giving up that money, but for some reason there are commenters that j
