Since I am finally calming down from my ridiculous panic episode after getting two supplement pills stuck in my throat (esophagus?), I figured I would share it so you could get a kick out of it or you could share your own horror story. Brief Context So I have always been afraid of choking...

Hi all, I was in the door opening smoking a cigarette when smoke from a pipe or chimney however you wanna call it came inside and I inhaled it. It is from the boiler. Several hours later I have physical anxiety which I normally never have around this time. Is this from the boiler smoke? Did it...

Yet another great study exposing just how much of a "happy hormone" serotonin really is. As usual, the popular press article does everything possible to avoid pointing the finger at serotonin and even engages in misdirection. For example, it says that SERT is the main target of drugs like...

I know Japan is not the best comparison to the West due to their unique cultural attitude/tolerance towards suicides, especially in regards to people perceived to be "dishonored" due to falling on hard luck. However, it is still a stark reminded of what the lockdowns lead to and I suspect we may...

One of the few studies that is at least attempting to frame mental health issues in terms of endocrinology. More specifically, the study below demonstrated that people with Hashimoto disease have drastically increased rates of anxiety, panic attacks and risks for other mental health disorders...

The depression and anxiety won't let off. I feel like I'm losing my mind here I have not slept in over 24 hours I think this is because of the Vyvanse which is for ADD. Im glad I have a doctor willing to try his best. I did terrible in school and he wanted to try Vyvanse to see if it would help...
