    "Fast Feeling" AKA: Tachysensia

    I respect the minds on this forum deeply! So, I thought I'd come on here to ask if anyone has any idea what the experience is that's described on this subreddit: Reddit - Dive into anything. I experienced this as a kid, and it cropped up again this year and took me down panic-attack alley...

    Harvard Psychiatrist: All Mental Disease is Metabolic/Bioenergetic Disease

    It is always nice to see mainstream medicine plagiarize from Dr. Peat attempt to right its course after decades-long mistakes. While the genetic dogma still rules supreme in medicine's attitude towards most "physical" diseases, the utter failure of the "serotonin hypothesis" and its dear...

    Being Sad and Lonely Accelerates Aging More Than Smoking

    The title is the same as the one of the popular press article. And since feelings of sadness and loneliness are primarily caused by elevated serotonin, we can add premature aging to the list of "benefits" serotonin offers. The findings of this study probably explain a great deal of the premature...

    Deliberate self-injury may be driven by systemic inflammation

    This study below is not really discussing metabolic topics, but I though it would be interesting to post just as a reminder of the total scam modern psychiatry is. People prone to the so-called non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are invariably diagnosed with a plethora of mental disorders and given...

    Dietary sugar can treat chronic depression

    Not much to comment on here, except to point out that the sugar "addiction" in depressed people has been recognized by medicine for at least 50 years and has always been treated as a co-morbidity of the depressed state, also in need of treatment. Doctors have been advising depressed patients to...

    Carbs and ZeroCarbs Depression

    So, like many of us on this forum, I have tried many diets, low carb, high carb, vegan, IF etc. So my question is as it relates to mental health, anecdotally (and it sounds like others have the same experience) a low carb diet feels GREAT for a few days almost euphoric and then I slip into a...

    Just a week-long break from social media alleviates anxiety and depression

    I don't think this study will come as a surprise to my readers, but it still helps to have some peer-reviewed evidence confirming what many people intuitively sense, yet are afraid to verbalize due to FOMO or being ostracized - i.e. social media, and digitization in general, is a bane on human...

    Dopamine agonists can treat anhedonia

    The title may sound obvious to many, but this study is one of the few to bring up the taboo topic of serotonin's role in symptoms of depression. The current dogma still holds that raising serotonin levels (or activating its receptors) is the most beneficial mechanism to treating depression and...

    Young people are lonelier than ever

    The actual title of the article, covering recent studies about loneliness rates in Western populations. It dispels the convenient excuse that the "pandemic" is what caused this true epidemic of loneliness by showing those rates were high years before any talk about virus/lockdown entered the...

    So two years in: How are you doing?

    The history of the world changed two years ago in March of 2020. I mean, things were always “bad”, but hidden. Secrets. Evil secrets. How have things changed for you? And, more importantly, how are you doing with this change? How do you view the future? Do you have a plan? Here is this from...

    Lewy Body dementia - 'that smell'

    My husband has Lewy Body Demntia and Alzheimer's. Even before diagnosis he had that smell which is unpleasant and pungent. He doesn't know he has it (poor sense of smell) and I haven't told him. On discussion threads (not here) I have seen people recommending shaving cream and deodorant soaps...

    Everyone seems to "have anxiety" - do you think this is imagined?

    Everyone seems to "have anxiety", especially Gen-Y & Gen-Z. Do you think this is imagined? I'm 27 and for many years have identified as someone with anxiety and would act accordingly. I'd tell myself that I don't like going to parties, don't like meeting new people, don't do well with...

    Trying to Help my Mom (Hypothyroidism)

    For some years now my mom has been taking Levothyroxine (T4) for her hypothyroidism. She is also bipolar and takes Risperidone and Valcote (sodium valproate). She is pretty functional and active but the main problem that I see is that she sleeps a lot, anywhere from 10 to 12 hours every night...

    I've Never Felt So Alone

    Checking in from Ontario Canada to... rant? Per the title of the thread: I've literally never felt this alone. I'm 25/F, and have been told by my job (online work, small team, not customer facing) if I don't get the vaccine by the end of next month, I'm done. My partner is currently with me in...

    Covid prions, or nah? Also: How are you taking care?

    Hi everyone, I'm curious to know your thoughts on whether COVID-19 (the virus, not the v@><) will later cause prion disease in the infected? I've seen the theories that the v@>< will lead to prion disease, but what about the virus itself? If we avoid the jab and end up contracting (or if we...

    Specific advice / a funny predicament.

    Hi! I've made a few posts before but I'd like to keep it short and ask for specific advice. Apologies in advance for my weird English. As you can imagine, it's not my mother tongue, haha. LATER-EDIT: I guess you can ignore the ''keeping it short'' part. I'm a 23 year old male, 1,83cm tall...

    The biggest missing links to optimal brain function – part 1

    What inspired me to write this article is overall reductionism when it comes to mental function. Far too many people want to focus on specific neurotransmitters and blame certain ones for certain conditions (e.g. low dopamine in anhedonia), but health as a whole started to deteriorate first, and...
