So, based off the article, I don't agree with the idea of letting children at that age choose to drop topics because they aren't interested. a) Interest often is triggered as you learn more about the subject. If the argument is, i

So, imo, cognitive biases, that you mention, are distinct from 'critical thinking'. One needs to be aware of the implicit & explicit biases, but that's not the same as the ability to think critically. I would argue the fi

Lots of very useful suggestions, but I'd also add: a) Be patient with yourself. Whether it is therapy, medications, etc. these things take time. Months, at the very least. b) You may have to switch multiple therapists, after investing

umm, what? Darwin's finches comes to mind [1]. Also, since then, a host of other examples. All you need to do is look at the Wikipedia page [2], which has citations to the primary research. Unless you mean, no one has seen it happen in

So I agree that there's been a move away from "low seretonin == depression" and the model that depression is due to low seretonin (if it was even in favour), is giving way to "it's much more complex. We don't u
