Some psychiatrists still lie to their patients by telling them that they have a chemical imbalance even though no one knows what chemicals are imbalanced, and there's no test for the imbalance. The psych meds affect neurotransmitters. They don't balance chemicals. But the...
Aleph Zero,
Are you that there is no mental illness? That people are just different? They shouldn't be treated or changed?
I'm not sure that I agree. Some of those medicines keep people alive and able to support themselves financially.
I don't think that this slump will last forever. This is just temporary. Eventually, the debt will come down. It would be much better and faster, in my opinion, for central banks to just inflate our way out of it, but governments putting us through some more lean years would work too.

By episodic remission, you're talking an individual case that gets better or "cured" for an unexplained reason, right? Has there ever been an episodic remission of a group of people?

How fixed are they? Are they ever cured, especially anti-social personality disorder and borderline personality disorder, or they all just life long?
Are they genetic or from trauma? Is the biological medical model true for some cases while the trauma model (sexual abuse, neglect, etc) is...
I like Czcibor's explanation. I'll use the U.S. in my example.
On the yield curve, short-term interest rates are controlled by the Federal Reserve. Long-term interest rates are only influenced by the Fed. Long-term rates are determined by bond market participants. Long-term rates are...
I am not a math or science person, but I'm trying to learn so please forgive my lack of knowledge.
Is there research in math? Are there boundaries to math that can be pushed out? Studying the universe, it's obvious that we don't know everything yet. There is plenty to discover for physicists...
