I once had a problem with a male neighbor who didn't like that I didn't want what he wanted. One day he put a knife with an opened blade in front of my door, with a small note. I didn't feel it to be a death threat because I couldn't believe it (but I guess it was). Later the police told me I...

I don't think so. Or I'm abnormal, too. People always say "Oh, I hope everything comes out normal". No, I don't hope that. I feel crappy, I wanna know why; if possible I wanna know exactly why.

I don't know. Honestly, regarding the psycho topic, I don't feel very encouraged. :bawling:

The problem is - that's my experience (with southern German doctors) - if you come up with an idea what you might have you are quartered in imagination, get secretly a psycho diagnosis and are sent away. You won't be taken seriously. What I see as huge luck is the fact that you, @TrixieStix...

In Germany, too. I remember H&M is one of those companies "offering" such contracts.

@MErmaid I have no final opinion about whether gaming is an addiction in the biological sense or not :) I just have the feeling that defining it as a "mental illness" won't be helpful. I think you have to understand, not to give names.

Not where I live. I don't know how it is in other countries. Of course, badly paid jobs can be found where you have to work 12h a day or so and have to travel, be entirely flexible, or maybe have to do shift work. Then you hate or love your job - but still live with the parents because your...

Since this is mentioned again: What is so wrong with escaping reality for some time? (I know, the problem is when this happens constantly...) I assume nobody here has the perfect life, no problems, only best friends, best of health...Life is hard, especially if finances are difficult. One has...

Thank you for this discussion. For me, it was very interesting and helpful. My mistrust for Mrs Crawley's 'research' was decided when I heard about some background of the school absence study. For me that was the point she disqualified for any future work; although her work in the SMILE and...

Yes.

Interesting conclusion. Instead of concluding that CBT doesn't objectively improve cognitive function, it seems they conclude that patients imagine their cognitive impairments.

Well, my impression is, here again: subjective outcomes probably show improvement, objective ones don't. Or differently: CBT is a good way to make you believe whatever you're supposed to believe.

Does anybody know how the process of asking questions to the Bundestag works? Here (#22), https://www.s4me.info/threads/uk-house-of-lords-house-of-commons-questions.707/page-2 a question was asked to UK Parliament: This is a very interesting question. I remember DIE LINKE asked how many...

Thank you all for explaining very clearly. I see there are enough ways to assess cognitive function. I think a reasonable approach would be the one @Jonathan Edwards explained, plus using 'common sense' and thinking.

I have a question concerning objective outcomes. Please note I don't mean to not use objective outcomes. How would you measure cognitive function objectively? E.g. my cognitive function improved, but physical function seems to be unchanged. Personally, I value a better cognitive function very...

Thanks @Wonko for linking. And thanks @Allele for putting better what I wanted to say.

Well, wonder if I would have been diagnosed with "gaming disorder". :rolleyes: Everything will be called disorder in the future I suppose, apart from working, learning, school, profit making etc.

The texts are very ill written, very non-professional sounding.

Thanks for sharing this!

You can only consent if you know what you consent to. Any other consent - forced upon, non-informed, deceptive - is invalid. Even if a school asks from a parent the consent for sharing data to third parties (which I can't imagine is allowed), it would have had to be specified in which manner...
