How to remove the words seratonin, dopamine, and oxytocin from the minds of people who take psych advice from unlicensed tiktokers. Bonus points if it takes the tattoos they got of the molecules bc they’re scientifically illiterate and think a chemical structure adds legitimacy to their pseudoscience.

#my stuff #i see so many med students with the tattoos and your honor i can’t take it.#i’ve met people who have lifelong mental illnesses who have gotten one of those molecules related to their lives experience #meanwhile freshman med students in intro chem see a molecule and slap it on #i personally don’t believe in doing tats of things you don’t really care about #things that matter to you or significantly changed you #i wouldn’t put anything scientific on myself that i had not worked on #rn i’m working through the list of hobbies and stories that i’ve loved deeply for Years #idk ppl with the 3 Psych Molecules specifically just bugs me so much bc i feel like it’s become a popsci tattoo #and you either get it because you’re Traumatized For Real or bc it’s a cool shape that has poppsych implications #the latter of which feels shallow and disrespectful to associate with the former
