    Postpartum in general & meal ideas

    Even very low-dose endocrine disruptors induce learned helplessness, anhedonia

    Not much to comment on this study, considering the mountains of literature already available on the topic of endocrine disruptors such as BPA/BPA/DEHP, except to point out that the results were obtained even with very low-dose exposure to the harmful chemicals. Another interesting finding was...

    Fasoracetam upregulates GABA-B receptors and reduces learned helplessness

    Fasoracetam might be especially interesting for people that don't react well to the other racetams and stimulants in generel. I've found that phenylpiracetam can make me a bit irritable, but stacking it with something GABAergic alleviated that. Or people dealing with anxiety, depression...

    The Government Knows Stress Causes "learned Helplessness" / Depression

    I have had discussions with numerous psychiatrists about the concept of "learned helplessness" (LH) and its relation to chronic stress. All of those doctors flatly denied that LH is a concept relevant to humans and argued that it is nothing more than a useful model of depression in animal...

    People Can Die As A Result Of Giving Up (a State Caused By Low Dopamine)

Well, the study below shows that "give-up-itis" (GUI) is quite real and can reliably kill a person if it takes a...

    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Prevents Suicidal Behavior, Reverses Learned Helplessness

    First, please note that this study is about nitrous oxide (N2O) and not nitric oxide (NO). There is a huge difference in effects despite the minor difference in chemical structure.
