Thanks for the info - curious to look at these trials and see if there are sustained long term positive outcomes on the PANSS or these are just safety /tolerability studies.

Here is the drug trial results for EMERGENT-2 which was one of the two phase-3 trials that lead to the approval.

I think its striking that the trial is only 5-weeks long and this medication gets approval.

Taking another perspective here, is suicidaility an individual problem or a social one?

Maybe someone can provide a better understanding, I'm a clinical psych doctoral student, but this is outside my area of research + methods.

On very quick review, it looks like there are is significant association between HERV genetic factors and specific diagnoses given PIP. However, what's not clear to me is effect size or correlation coefficient.

I'm not sure if I'm missing this or it's not reports. There might be a relationship, but at a very small percentage.

2nd year clinical psychology doctoral student, have an “ADHD” diagnosis since high school, it’s also an area of academic interest.

In my very humble opinion, the diagnostic category of ADHD isn’t particularly helpful, it’s too broad, one person with ADHD looks completely different from another. Additionally it’s very easy to identify and over-identify with diagnosis to the detriment of your personal potential. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy and all to common trap.

As other have said, you can go see a psychiatrist and they’ll evaluate you and maybe you end up with stimulant meds. Attentional issues are not just due to ADHD, they can be part of anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc.

If you do get an ADHD diagnosis, The meds help some people (actually they make everyone focus, i.e. why they gave them to fighter pilots). They also suck for other people.

What I believe will be helpful is learning how to live your life with your unique mind. If you can find a therapist who practices mindfulness-based interventions, (ACT, MBCT, DBT) it could be incredibly beneficial. Good luck on your journey!

This article is nuts and the citations of "compelling studies" are by the authors themselves AND pre-print without peer review... Even at first pass, the following statement is bonkers:

"Then they ignored natural immunity. Wrong again. The vast majority of children have already had Covid, but this has made no difference in the blanket mandates for childhood vaccines. And now, by mandating vaccines and boosters for young healthy people, with no strong supporting data, these agencies are only further eroding public trust."

What the fuck is "natural immunity" when we have had 5 variants of omnicron and infection doesn't provide immunity to the other variants?

The real crime IMO, is that... U.S. Public Health Agencies Aren't ‘Following the Science,’... the science of how we could actually reduce spread and decrease the 350~ DEATHS per day adding to the more than 1 Million dead already.

I think this is a good move – the cloning UX experience was a nightmare. I've moved many shared files to Team Drives because the language is easier for most of understand.

I imagine this was a tough call for a PM, with a lot of cases to consider and account for given this is so embedded in the Drive product DNA.

I think I understand now – while I saw the adjustable walk time variables in the JS, I just wasn't sure which station your timer were relative to.

Looking at your building location, I see you're near the Hoboken stop. That's why you have the Hoboken departure times hard-coded in the departure_times.js.

I thought the file was just the line schedule and then you'd have to pick a station, but I see now it's just the schedule for the Hoboken station?

I also live in Jersey City and would use this. Which station is this relative to?

This article follows the classic rule: If a question is asked in the headline, the answer is "no"...

"There is no evidence that sleep was universally segmented, and there is also little evidence that segmented sleep is better. A 2021 meta-analysis of studies on biphasic sleep schedules found that segmented-sleeping subjects actually reported “lower sleep quality … and spent more time in lighter stages of sleep.” One reasonable takeaway is that biphasic sleep is like anarchical foraging: Both might have well served some ancient populations some of the time, but neither of them offers a clear solution to modern problems."

This essentially the same argument that Judson Brewer makes using insights from behavioral + buddhist psychology – https://drjud.com/book/

The insight is also to use mindfulness to understand the "true" experience of the addictive behavior and come to internalize that it is no longer valuable.

Ezra Klein has a nice interview on the subject: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-anxiety-youre-fee...

My understanding is that one of the major critiques of statistics, especially its use in psychology, has been the use of models which are derived from the mean.

There are inherent flaws/assumptions to this approach which Peter Molenaar has done extensive work to critique (See Todd Rose's book on the subject). For anyone who understands the technique presented in this paper, does it also depend on the mean as a model like when calculating Pearson's r?

This pattern is purely a representation of how financially hurt news institutions are. They are desperate to make revenue and the end user experience is sacrificed in the name of keeping the ship afloat (and sometimes profit).

Agreed, sample arms were n=11 or 12.
