This tidy framework deceptively decomplexifies the convoluted na…Read Article

Conceptual Synaesthesia as Cognitive Literacy

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
I can’t listen to audiobooks. Oh, now I wish I could, but I see every word scrolling across my mind like subtitles. If I try to do something else while listening the ticker tape vanishes, and I have to go back and relisten. When certain conversations shift in tone, the ticker tape kicks in again, most likely as a trauma response. I stop hearing the voice and only read the words in my mind, silently and urgently, hoping they’ll clue me in to why …United States · United StatesRead Article

Antipsychotics Do Not Provide a Clinically Meaningful Benefit Over the Short-Term: A Review of the Evidence

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
On May 7, JAMA Psychiatry published a review of the efficacy of antipsychotics over the short-term, and if the article is carefully parsed, the results reveal that there is no good evidence that antipsychotics provide a clinically meaningful benefit, compared to placebo, over the short-term. This might seem startling to the public and to prescribers, as it is understood to be a given that antipsychotics are effective in curbing acute episodes of…Los Angeles, California · Los AngelesRead Article

Are We Sober Yet?

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
My sobriety ended when I was fifteen years old. The first drug I ever took was Lexapro. I was an angry young man growing up, and Lexapro took my anger from me. My second drug was alcohol, years after Lexapro became part of my daily diet. To this day, I can remember staring at the cold can of Coors Light in disbelief at how good it made me feel. Alcohol and Lexapro were pure energy and euphoria. I spent the next five years until I turned 21 takin…United States · United StatesRead Article
