neuroscience is so cool cause I think I just figured out what killed Robin Williams

Korsakoffs syndrome- caused by a Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, or alcohol poisoning - either or

"areas of the brain that are highly metabolically active are actually the first to be damaged" - Professor

so kids, remember to take your vitamin B1

During the winter break, we had experimented with our first workshop on Yoga for Athletic Kids. Here's a video on the same (22 min) long: This workshop was held for 5 days, 2 hour sessions each day covering * pranayama / breathwork, * bio-psychology of yoga, * yogic practices, * meditation and * visualization https://youtube.com/watch?v=7NlDE68r2aE #experience #visualization #psychology #yogi #biopsychology #yogabasic #yogaforkids (her: Sønderborg, Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpA4za7sEEo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They said MS (Multiple Sclerosis) was psychosomatic because they couldn't find a biomarker. The patients, they hypothetisized, had trauma from not being cared enough in their childhood and now subconsciously paralyzed themselves with their unmet needs even to death (see e.g. Münch J. Psychosomatische Aspekte der multiplen Sklerose [Psychosomatic aspects of multiple sclerosis]. Ther Umsch. 1995 Feb;52(2):142-5. German. PMID: 7892676.). Then they invented a way to measure the demyelinisation and -boom- MS was no longer psychosomatic.

At least one Psychoanalyst (Casper G. Schmidt, 1984) insisted, that AIDS was psychosomatic. Patients, he said, became depressed because they internalized the homophobia of the society they lived in. That made them die in a "mass hysteria" event. He later died of AIDS himself (in 1994).

PCOS was considered a mental health issue of women.

Other diagnoses show, that you don't even need a lab test or medical imaging to accept, and treat, a physical illness without inventing psychological factors:

Asthma and Parkinson are two well known chronic illnesses without a biomarker. In both cases the clinical diagnosis (e.g. going by symptoms and excluding other probable health issues) is well established.

Doctors aren't gods. They are specialists with a quite narrow field of expertise. Sometimes they forget that fact. Especially when confronted with systemic illnesses like ME/CFS.

There is a plethora of physical abnormalities in ME/CFS that can be measured. Reduced anaerobic threshold, impaired oxygen uptake, mitochondrial damage, higher counts of GPCR autoantibodies, and much more.

Don't let doctors guilt trip and gaslight you.

omg it’s been a while since you’ve updated, so I hope you’ve been having some of the most relaxing few days ever rather than stressful ones. and if it’s the latter, I’m so sorry about that and I hope you get the rest and relaxation you need ❤️😊💖

!!! if i'm being very honest for the past week i had a lot of homemade brownies and did a lot of puzzles while i had very bad internet connection which somehow really felt like. super relaxing and made a lot of other stress go away so.....

thank you so so much for these well-wishes they mean so much 🥺💙 looking forward to what i can give you the next few weeks 💙

didn’t do much today as i was at work but i did have a chance to do a little biopsychology so not a completely wasted day, i mostly read my library book about linguistics because its due in soon 

[wizardichor]

I've got a little over a week left of this term and I'm already done with my final project in my main class at uni so now I get to just focus on academy shit, which I'm already a quarter of the way through this one project I don't technically have to complete until the end of February. I still have a lot I wanna get done because I'm a maniac who thought skipping having a winter break and enrolling in 12 classes at once while also working 40 hours a week was a great idea for my already rapidly deteriorating health, but I'm super proud of myself! And I have a 100 in every class so far, so I'm out here killing it. I think I'll have to drop down to one class per term again after this though, unless I can get enough scholarship money in the spring to pay for more classes. And even then I'm probably going to just stick with like two classes per term because, uh. A bitch is tired.

hans spell ‘brain’ right challenge

[thepinkpit]

hot take but i think having doubts is a good thing (HEAR ME OUT PLEASE!!) loa is psychology and neuroscience in various ways, as our assumptions act as a feedback loop. with loa we just condition our mind with the assumption that we have what we want.

so whenever we have doubts i think it’s a good thing because it shows we’re unlearning old, negative belief patterns and training our brain that we have what we want (by affirming). the subconscious tries to protect us from anything that it perceives as a threat (change) so these doubts come up from the subconscious as a way to protect us and keep us in our old, comfortable state, as we’re accustomed to that old state. (look into biopsychology and evolutionary psychology for more on this. it’s how our mind tries to protect us from trauma and danger).

with doubts it shows that hey, you’re doing everything right. you’re unlearning these negative thought patterns and creating a new neural pathway with your affirmations, turning them into assumptions. keep affirming, keep persisting💋
