Hello everything, so here is all the basic information about my DC OC's Ashlea, Lydia, Rebecca (Bex), and Taylor. This does mention relationships so spoilers there as well as spoilers when I mention different events in their life!

I also just want to say as I am white, my characters are as well, if you wish you make them not, that is up to you. Just don't get mad whenever I describe this as white. But most of my characters have skin similar to my own, white as hell during the fall and winter months but during the spring and summer months with the sun, is more tan.

Scientists Map How Mental Illness Changes Your Brain

— By Robyn White | August 14,2023

Scientists have discovered how the brain changes and differs due to different mental health issues.

A brain mapping project undertaken by researchers at Australia's Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health and School of Psychological Sciences, assessed nearly 1,300 people with six different types of mental illness.

By measuring volume and size of 1,000 different brain regions, they found "extraordinary diversity" in brain changes in people with schizophrenia or major depression, the study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience stated.

This means that treating mental illnesses may be more effective when focusing on an individual's brain, rather than group averages.

"Over the past few decades, researchers have mapped brain areas showing reduced volume in people diagnosed with a wide variety of mental illness, but this work has largely focused on group averages, which makes it difficult to understand what is happening in the brains of individual people" Ph.D. student Ashlea Segal, who led the research, said in a statement.

"For example, knowing that the average height of the Australian population is about 1.7 m tells me very little about the height of my next-door neighbour," she said.

Researchers analyzed regions of the brain showing unusually small or large volumes in people diagnosed with mental illnesses, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or autism spectrum disorder.

"We confirmed earlier findings that the specific brain regions showing large deviations in brain volume vary a lot across individuals, with no more than 7% of people with the same diagnosis showing a major deviation in the same brain area," Professor Alex Fornito, who led the research team, said in the statement.

"This result means that it is difficult to pinpoint treatment targets or causal mechanisms by focusing on group averages alone. It may also explain why people with the same diagnosis show wide variability in their symptom profiles and treatment outcomes."

The research may explain why two people with the same mental illness may have more symptoms in common than two people with two different illnesses.

"Because the brain is a network, dysfunction in one area can spread to affect other, connected sites. We found that, while deviations occurred in distinct brain regions across different people, they were often connected to common upstream or downstream areas, meaning they aggregated within the same brain circuits," Segal said.

These findings will help inform future treatment routes for those with mental illnesses in the future.

Research into mental illnesses is vital in determining which treatments are most effective. In recent years, mental illness research has progressed, though arguably slower than studies of other health conditions.

Mental illnesses can have severe impacts on a person's day to day life. Schizophrenia, for example, is a condition that effects a person's ability to think or behave, often manifesting in delusions, or behavior that seems out of touch with reality, according to the Mayo Clinic.

But the exact cause of schizophrenia is not yet known. Scientists believe a combination of brain chemistry, structure, as well as genetics may be involved.

Depression also does not have a single cause. It may be caused by external factors in ones life, such as a stressful or upsetting life event, but scientists also believe it can manifest from chemical imbalances in the brain.

There is also evidence that mental illness runs in families, suggesting genes may be involved.

"We found that certain specific brain circuits were preferentially involved in some disorders, suggesting that they are potential treatment targets" Segal said.

"However, our findings suggest that these targets will only be appropriate for a subset of people. For instance, we found evidence that brain circuits linked to frontal areas were preferentially involved in depression. These circuits are commonly used as targets for non-invasive brain stimulation therapies, but our data suggest that they may only effective targets for around 1/3 of people."

The framework developed by these scientists opens new doors into mapping brain deviations in those with mental illnesses.

"The framework we have developed allows us to understand the diversity of brain changes in people with mental illness at different levels, from individual regions through to more widespread brain circuits and networks, offering a deeper insight into how the brain is affected in individual people," Fornito said.

Skull Pins // Ashlea Bechaz

A Houston teen who admitted to randomly punching people at a local park for likes on social media has been awarded a bond by the judge presiding over his case.

Alford Lasean Lewis was charged with assault with bodily injury and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon for the incidents involving two persons on Thursday, Oct. 26.

“We take these cases extremely seriously at the district attorney’s office, and in this case, the facts were particularly troubling; these boys were out at a park where people enjoy the outdoors and are exercising and shouldn’t expect to run into any kind of trouble,” said prosecutor Ashlea Sheridan, according to KHOU 11.

Lewis now says that he regrets terrorizing people at Wortham Park on that day, particularly since he did it to receive clout on social media.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported that Lewis assaulted two individuals, one of whom he punched in the back of the head. In a separate incident preceding the first one, Lewis approached another man and tapped him on the shoulder with a firearm.

According to court documents, after shocking the man with the weapon, Lewis proceeded to point it at him and demanded that the man give up his phone. When the victim refused to hand over his phone, Lewis threatened to shoot him in the foot. The victim relinquished his phone to the teen.

“This man was out there doing what any citizen in Harris County would do when he was approached by these two males and attempted to be robbed at gunpoint,” Sheridan said.

Despite the prosecution pushing for a high bond, the judge awarded him a more reasonable bond than suggested, setting Lewis’ bond at $30,000 with the caveat he must wear a GPS ankle monitor and be placed under house arrest once he is released from jail.

Originally, the judge set the bond at $10,000. Both bonds set by the bench are substantially lower than the prosecution wanted Lewis to receive a bond of $75,000.

The change in the bond came at the request of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. They successfully argued that Lewis admitted to the crime, which should mandate a raise.

The incidents were exacerbated by one of Lewis’ friends, 18-year-old Kingston Miker, videotaping it, and he and his friend laughed during each incident. One of the videos was uploaded on social media, and authorities identified Lewis as the suspect after some people named him in the comments.

Miker has since been arrested and faces the same charges as Lewis.

“They did this for fun and posted it on social media, which is simply unacceptable, and I felt, given the circumstances, that the bond needed to be raised,” said Sheridan, explaining why she pushed for the $20,000 spike in the bond award.

Before turning himself in, Lewis talked about the day and said, “I just made a mistake, and everybody makes mistakes,” according to KHOU 11.

“I really didn’t expect for it to go so left, you know. I know from the video all you see is the bad part about it. But what people don’t see is that I shook his hand after and gave the man a hug,” he said in an effort to mitigate the severity of his actions, actions he committed as a way to get likes and views on YouTube and TikTok.

Now, he hopes that others learn from his mistakes.

“Before you go out and do anything you feel is bad, or that could look bad, make sure, like, people know – or just don’t do it at all,” Lewis advised.

your name answer just brought back school memories of about 25% of the boys being called ashley. no girls at all, in our minds it was fully just a boys name and when ashley tisdale came about we thought it was super strange. so were there boys in your school included in your number of ashleighs? because I've never seen a male ashley since leaving school

i think it's safe to say this was all before you were in school, but there were i think 5 boys, all ashley. and then me and one other ashleigh, a girl ashley, an ashlee and an ashlea? i think. this was literally two decades ago.

at the time we were all born there were exactly two ashleys in popular culture: gone with the wind ashley, and the young and the restless ashley. ashley olsen was a couple of years later.
