Most people think of depression as a deficit state," Mayberg says. "You're low, you're negative. But in fact, talk to a depressed person, and you have this bizarre combination of numbness and what William James called 'an active anguish.' 'A sort of psychical neuralgia,'
This is quite important for understanding depression
I think it is important to recognized that depression is a mental illness, and not just apart of identity to agree with the article.
(Or, using another metaphor, if the brain is an orchestra, then the neurochemical approach focuses on how well individual players listen and respond to the players adjacent to them; the network approach, like a conductor, focuses on how the orchestra's sections — strings, winds, brass, etc. — coordinate and balance volume and tone. When both are working well, you've got music.)
Need this
number of psychopathic attributes were actually more common in business leaders than in so-called disturbed criminals—attributes such as superficial charm, egocentricity, persuasiveness, lack of empathy, independence, and focus.
cool
Psychopaths, without batting an eye, are perfectly happy to chuck the fat guy over the side.
Yet another interesting, study.
More than 70 percent of those who scored high on the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale correctly picked out the handkerchief-smuggling associate, compared with just 30 percent of the low scorers. Zeroing in on weakness may well be part of a serial killer's tool kit. But it may also come in handy at the airport.
This is an interesting result for an interesting study.

Such a profile allows those who present with these traits to do what they like when they like, completely unfazed by the social, moral or legal consequences of their actions.
Good.
a minha impressão é que esse discurso não quer dizer nada, é um discurso vazio, e que pode ser interpretado da forma que a Ana Thomaz quiser interpretar em cada situação diferente.
ela não pode deixar claro o que ela está propondo, porque ficaria muito fácil ver que não existe o não-paradigma, e que qualquer atitude pode ser interpretada como um paradigma, como ela diz.
o que ela propõe, no final das contas, é um niilismo total: a eliminação de todas as metas, planos, objetivos e meios de ação, por serem todos paradigmáticos, sem a proposta de nada no lugar -- nem mesmo a de alguma prática pura vazia de significado. o que ela propõe é uma loucura que ela mesma, se estivesse lendo isto sem saber quem escrevera, chamaria de "paradigma da criação".
the nature of low-bandwidth communication on the internet probably just exposes you to misunderstandings and you end up stressing out over things vs being the friends you normally would.
This page could be more reassuring to the many people who have a degree of paranoia which does not interfere with their normal life. In a paranoia scoring scale some items were endorsed by 20-30% of the general population. British Journal of Psychiatry, 2013
Concepts seem to be structurable, in that a new concept can be composed of an organization of established concepts. For present purposes, we can view a concept structure as something which we might try to develop on paper for ourselves or work with by conscious thought processes, or as something which we try to communicate to one another in serious discussion. We assume that, for a given unit of comprehension to be imparted, there is a concept structure (which can be consciously developed and displayed) that can be presented to an individual in such a way that it is mapped into a corresponding mental structure which provides the basis for that individual's "comprehending" behavior. Our working assumption also considers that some concept structures would be better for this purpose than others, in that they would be more easily mapped by the individual into workable mental structures, or in that the resulting mental structures enable a higher degree of comprehension and better solutions to problems, or both.
Mental structuring is what we call the internal organization of conscious and unconscious mental images, associations, or concepts (or whatever it is that is organized within the human mind) that somehow manages to provide the human with understanding and the basis for such as judgment, intuition, inference, and meaningful action with respect to his environment.
It is acknowledged that the nature of man is compounded of two parts, the physical and the mental
