when theoden wakes up and everyone's like "but how do we get that dawg back in him?" gandalf immediately gets that he needs to hold his sword and swish it about, and i think that's why we need more men working in mental healthcare

happy people tend to have more negative emotions than the depressed. the difference is their feelings are in motion, the pipes have throughput solve velocity before worrying about volume

@MattWalshBlog SSRIs work by increasing neuroplasticity (as a delayed second order effect, over a few months), which increases BDNF in key brain sites like the hippocampus. Nobody thinks that ‘cures’ depression but it helps, for some quite a bit, in addition to many other interventions

@timotheeology Grant literally had this effect on everyone, including his own staff at times. People just couldn’t believe this odd unassuming alcoholic was unbeatable. But he was. People kept telling Lincoln to fire him and he kept saying “no I want to win tho”

@MattWalshBlog “SSRIs don’t work”, yes they do, they prevent the re-uptake of serotonin hence the name. Why would anyone think that would cure all their problems? Does coffee ‘cure’ low motivation? No but it helps some people. There are no silver bullets

@acidshill There are some things I learned. The first is that 'biding your time' is the worst thing you can do. Depression is slipping out of the mainline of life. I lost so much time trying to 'be ready again'. Like the "bro just one more bro" meme. Unfortunately you have to 'do it live'

@davidfrum my intuition is if I invented some private technology that I sell access to I should be allowed to refuse service, including for personal ethical reasons. musk didn’t want to be responsible for an escalation of a war with a nuclear power. maybe that’s incorrect but also normal
