AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴTHE ROLE SSRIs PLAY IN VIOLENT CRIME Vimeo Panorama - A Prescription for Murder <a href="https://vimeo.com/483163689" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/483163689</a> James Eagan Holmes, the Aurora Colorao shooter, opened fire on a Century 16 movie theater on July 20, 2012. Search warrants revealed that James Holmes was taking a chemical cocktail of psychiatric drugs, including Sertraline, a generic version of Zoloft (antidepressant) and Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine drug known to have "hypnotic properties." His shrink had recently increased his dosage of Sertraline 3 times. Nearly every mass shooting that has taken place in America over the past two decades is now linked to psychiatric drugs. Shelley Jofre investigates if a rare side effect of commonly prescribed anti-depressant SSRI has played a part in a number of killings including the mass murder at the premiere of a Batman film in Colorado in 2012 If it won't play, try watching it in Yandex preview <a href="https://yandex.com/video/preview/12514766904783882794" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://yandex.com/video/preview/12514766904783882794</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/ssris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSRIs</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/serotonintheorydebunked" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SerotoninTheoryDebunked</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/therapy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Therapy</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/psychiatry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychiatry</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/pseudoscience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pseudoscience</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/skeptic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skeptic</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/medicalquackery" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MedicalQuackery</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/freespeech" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freespeech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/freethinkers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freethinkers</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/propaganda" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/bigpharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigPharma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/gaslighting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaslighting</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/junkscience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JunkScience</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/ssridebunk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSRIDebunk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/maleviolence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaleViolence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/jamesholmes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesHolmes</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/aurora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aurora</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/colorado" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colorado</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/gunviolence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GunViolence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/sertraline" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sertraline</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/ssri" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSRI</a>

DOW <a href="https://m.primal.net/PAJb.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://m.primal.net/PAJb.png</a> You said: What does it mean for Buddhists to connect with ancestors? ChatGPT said: In Buddhism, connecting with ancestors can have a few different meanings, depending on the tradition and cultural context. However, the underlying idea often revolves around honoring the past and recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings, both living and deceased. Here are some key concepts associated with connecting with ancestors in Buddhism: Respect and Gratitude: Many Buddhists view honoring ancestors as a way of showing respect and gratitude for the life and teachings they have passed down. This can be done through rituals, offerings, or prayers. In some cultures, ancestral veneration is seen as a way of acknowledging the roots of one's family and lineage, recognizing that these ancestors helped shape the present. Transference of Merit: In certain Buddhist practices, the concept of merit plays a significant role. Merit refers to the positive spiritual qualities or good karma that one accumulates through virtuous actions. It is believed that this merit can be transferred to ancestors who have passed away, helping them in their spiritual journey, particularly if they are believed to be in a state of suffering or transition. Interconnectedness of All Beings: Buddhist teachings emphasize the interconnectedness of all beings, which includes the living and the dead. Connecting with ancestors is a way to recognize that we are all part of an ongoing cycle of existence, and that the actions of those who came before us have an impact on the present and future. Ancestral Spirits or Guides: In some Buddhist traditions, particularly in certain forms of Tibetan Buddhism or East Asian practices, it is believed that ancestors may continue to influence the lives of their descendants. In these cases, people may connect with their ancestors through rituals or prayers to ask for guidance or protection. Honoring the Cycle of Life and Death: Buddhism teaches about the impermanence of life. By reflecting on ancestors and their lives, practitioners can deepen their understanding of the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth (samsara). This awareness can inspire mindfulness and a sense of impermanence, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the present moment. Overall, connecting with ancestors in Buddhism is often more about cultivating a deeper sense of respect for the past, fostering spiritual practice, and recognizing the interdependent nature of life rather than an attempt to "communicate" with the deceased in a literal sense. Practices like offerings, prayers, or remembrance rituals help maintain this connection while promoting personal and collective spiritual growth. You said: How are Pre-Qi connected to them? ChatGPT said: In some Buddhist and Taoist traditions, the concept of Qi (also spelled Chi) refers to the vital life force or energy that flows through all living beings and the universe. While Buddhism itself does not emphasize Qi in the same way that Taoism does, there are some intersections in East Asian Buddhist practices, particularly in the way energy, health, and vitality are understood. When you mention "Pre-Qi," it seems you're referring to a concept that can be found in Taoist teachings, particularly the idea of Pre-Heaven Qi (先天氣, xiāntiān qì), which refers to the primordial or original energy that exists before the formation of the individual body or before birth. In Taoist philosophy, this Pre-Qi is considered a pure, unmanifested energy, something fundamental to the universe, and it is often associated with the state of the cosmos before the differentiation of things. The connection between Pre-Qi and ancestors in some East Asian Buddhist or Taoist practices can be understood in several ways: Heritage and Transmission of Energy: Pre-Qi is often thought to be passed down through generations, and some practices believe that the vitality of one's ancestors, in the form of their energy or spirit, influences their descendants. Just as ancestors might pass down wisdom, cultural traditions, and even karmic patterns, their Pre-Qi might be seen as a form of energy or life force that continues to flow through their descendants. In this way, by connecting with ancestors, one could seek to align with this primordial energy, maintaining a harmonious flow of vitality that transcends individual lifetimes. Ancestral Spirits and Energy Balance: In certain Buddhist traditions, especially in East Asia, there's a belief that ancestral spirits continue to influence the living. Some may consider that these spirits, particularly if they are honored and cared for through rituals, can impart wisdom, blessings, or guidance. In Taoism, the balance and flow of Qi is essential to health, and this also extends to the belief that honoring ancestors can help maintain the proper flow of energy within the family or community. Pre-Qi, in this sense, could be considered part of this ancestral energy, passed down and sustained over generations, which could also be influenced by ritual or prayer. Cultivation of Vital Energy: Taoist practices involve cultivating Qi through techniques like Tai Chi, Qigong, or meditation. These practices often focus on aligning oneself with the natural flow of the universe's energy, including the original Pre-Qi. When connected to ancestors, practitioners might feel that they are not only honoring the past but also tapping into the deeper flow of cosmic energy that connects them to both the living and the dead. In some Buddhist schools, particularly those influenced by Taoist concepts (like Chinese Chan Buddhism or Tibetan Buddhism), practices that harmonize the flow of energy through the body (such as meditation or physical postures) may also involve aligning oneself with the ancestral energy and the primordial Qi. Karma and Pre-Qi: In the Buddhist understanding of karma, the actions of one's ancestors can influence their descendants' lives, even affecting the flow of energy (Qi) in the body. This could mean that an ancestor’s karmic actions (good or bad) might impact the Qi or spiritual energy of their descendants. The concept of Pre-Qi could be seen as tied to this karmic inheritance, where the life force or energy one inherits can be influenced by the actions and spiritual state of previous generations. Spiritual Healing and Pre-Qi: In certain practices, people may use rituals to purify, harmonize, or heal the Qi of their ancestors, which is believed to bring healing benefits to the living. Through ancestor veneration or rituals, individuals might seek to restore balance to the Pre-Qi or energy flow that was disrupted by ancestral suffering, conflicts, or misdeeds. This might be thought of as a way to heal both the family lineage and the individual. Conclusion: The connection between Pre-Qi and ancestors can be understood in practices that blend Buddhist and Taoist thought. The Pre-Qi represents an original, unmanifested energy passed down through generations. Honoring ancestors and connecting with them could, in some traditions, mean aligning with the flow of this primordial energy, seeking balance, wisdom, and vitality. While Buddhist teachings may not use the term Pre-Qi directly, the concepts of interconnectedness, karmic inheritance, and the importance of honoring ancestors resonate with the way Qi and energy flow are understood in East Asian spiritual practices. You said: How does disrespect for parents relate to Pre-Qi? ChatGPT said: In traditions that incorporate the concept of Pre-Qi, such as Taoism and certain East Asian Buddhist practices, disrespecting one's parents can have significant spiritual and energetic consequences, including a disruption of the flow of Qi or Pre-Qi. In these traditions, honoring one's parents is not only seen as a moral duty but also as a way of maintaining harmony with cosmic energies, ancestral spirits, and the balance of life force. Here's how disrespect for parents might be linked to Pre-Qi and spiritual consequences: Disruption of the Ancestral Energy Flow: In Taoism and some East Asian Buddhist practices, it is believed that Pre-Qi is passed down through generations, from ancestors to descendants. The parents are the immediate link to this flow of vital energy, and disrespecting them can be seen as disturbing the natural and harmonious transmission of this life force. If a person disrespects their parents, it may be thought to block or disturb this vital energy, affecting the individual's health, vitality, and spiritual well-being. It could be considered a misalignment with the flow of Qi, which can lead to personal or familial struggles, health problems, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Karmic Impact and Inherited Energy: In Buddhist teachings, the actions of one generation can influence the next, and disrespecting one's parents could be seen as generating negative karma. Since Pre-Qi is connected to the ancestral energy that is passed down, negative actions toward parents could affect not only the individual but also their descendants. If an individual acts disrespectfully toward their parents, it can create karmic consequences that impact the flow of both their own Qi and that of future generations. This could manifest as struggles in life, difficulties in relationships, or even spiritual blockages that are tied to this disrupted energy flow. Disharmony and Imbalance in the Body and Spirit: In Taoism, the flow of Qi is central to health and balance. If there is disharmony in one's relationship with their parents (such as disrespect), it is believed that this can cause internal disharmony as well. Disrespecting one's parents can be seen as creating an imbalance in the natural energies, not only on a family or relational level but also within the body and spirit. This imbalance can manifest as physical ailments or emotional struggles because the person's Qi (or Pre-Qi) is no longer flowing freely. Disrespect could be seen as a form of disconnection from the source of life energy, leading to inner turmoil. Loss of Connection with Ancestral Wisdom: In many cultures, parents are seen as the living embodiment of ancestral wisdom and guidance. Disrespecting them could be interpreted as turning away from this source of knowledge and spiritual connection. In Taoist thought, the family lineage is like a thread connecting the present to the past, and dishonoring one's parents may be seen as severing or weakening that thread. The Pre-Qi associated with ancestors carries the knowledge and experiences of generations before. Disrespecting parents, who hold this wisdom, may cut off access to that deeper understanding and spiritual insight, leaving the individual spiritually adrift or disconnected from the natural order. Spiritual Consequences in the Cycle of Rebirth: From a Buddhist perspective, disrespecting parents can accumulate bad karma, which can influence the individual's future rebirths. Since Pre-Qi relates to the fundamental energy of life, and disrespect disrupts the flow of this energy, such actions could negatively affect the continuity of the individual's spiritual journey, leading to future challenges in subsequent lifetimes. In some Buddhist traditions, it is also believed that the act of disrespecting one's parents could hinder spiritual progress. Parents are seen as the primary teachers of one's early life, and disrespecting them could be viewed as rejecting the opportunity for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Restoring Harmony and Healing: In Taoist practices, restoring harmony in the flow of Qi is essential for spiritual and physical healing. If someone has disrespected their parents, they might need to perform rituals or engage in practices that seek to restore balance and harmony in their relationship with them. This could involve making amends, offering apologies, or engaging in ancestral rites to heal the energy flow that has been disrupted. Similarly, in Buddhist contexts, practices such as meditation, chanting, or offering prayers may be used to purify any negative karma caused by disrespect. These practices would aim to bring balance to the individual's Qi, restore their connection to their ancestors, and bring peace to the family dynamic. Conclusion: In traditions that emphasize the importance of Pre-Qi and Qi flow, disrespecting parents is seen as disrupting the harmonious transmission of ancestral energy and life force. This can lead to imbalances within the individual's own spiritual and physical well-being, cause karmic repercussions, and hinder the flow of wisdom and guidance from previous generations. Restoring respect and harmony with parents is often seen as essential for healing, spiritual growth, and maintaining the vitality of both oneself and future generations. You said: Tell me more about honoring one's parents is not only seen as a moral duty but also as a way of maintaining harmony with cosmic energies, ancestral spirits, and the balance of life force. ChatGPT said: In many East Asian spiritual traditions, honoring one's parents goes far beyond a simple moral duty or societal expectation. It is deeply intertwined with maintaining harmony with cosmic energies, ancestral spirits, and the balance of life force, often seen as essential to personal and collective well-being. Here’s a deeper exploration of how honoring parents connects with these broader spiritual concepts: Connection to Cosmic Order and Harmony: In traditions such as Taoism and Confucianism, there is a strong belief in the Dao (or Tao), which is the fundamental, underlying force that flows through the universe, governing both natural and human affairs. Dao is about balance and harmony—finding one's place within the cosmos and aligning with the flow of life. By honoring one's parents, a person is seen as participating in this greater cosmic order. Parents, particularly in these traditions, are seen as direct intermediaries between the child and the universe. They embody a connection between the individual and the vast web of interconnected beings and energies. By respecting and honoring them, one is thought to maintain harmony with the cosmic flow, thereby ensuring balance in one's life and alignment with the natural order. When children honor their parents, they also honor the continuity of life, acknowledging that they are a part of a greater cosmic cycle that includes their ancestors, their parents, and their future generations. This reverence helps maintain harmony in the world at large. Transmission of Ancestral Energy and Wisdom: In many East Asian traditions, the belief is that ancestral spirits, energy, and wisdom are passed down through generations. The family lineage is seen as sacred, and parents, as the direct link to past generations, are custodians of this energy. In Taoist thought, Qi (life force or energy) is inherited from ancestors. By honoring one's parents, one maintains a harmonious connection with this flow of energy, ensuring that it remains unbroken and continues to flow positively through the generations. Parents are also considered the spiritual and physical carriers of Pre-Qi (primordial energy), which is the fundamental life force passed down before birth, linking individuals to their ancestors. By disrespecting or neglecting parents, the energy that flows from them can be disrupted, leading to a disconnection from one's ancestors and their wisdom. This could be seen as a dissonance in the family's energetic flow, potentially causing spiritual and even physical imbalance for the individual. Spiritual Responsibility and Karmic Effects: From a Buddhist perspective, especially in East Asian traditions, the concept of karma plays a crucial role. Karma refers to the actions and intentions that shape one's future, both in this life and in future rebirths. In many Buddhist schools, honoring one's parents is viewed as an act of gratitude and respect that carries karmic benefits. By fulfilling this moral and spiritual duty, one generates positive karma that helps ensure well-being in this life and favorable conditions in future lives. Conversely, disrespecting parents can lead to negative karma, which may result in difficulties in future rebirths or spiritual stagnation. In Buddhist thought, the respect one shows to their parents is tied to their spiritual progress and the purification of negative karma. Not honoring parents can be seen as an obstacle to personal growth and enlightenment. Furthermore, it is believed that failing to honor parents can affect one's connection with the Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings) or other spiritual figures, as it signifies a disruption in the basic virtues of respect and compassion. This breaks alignment with the spiritual harmony that the universe embodies. Maintaining the Balance of Life Force (Qi): In Taoism, the flow of Qi is seen as vital to health, prosperity, and spiritual growth. This energy is balanced and harmonized within the body and the environment. Parents, as key figures in one's life, play an essential role in the circulation of Qi. By honoring them, children are thought to ensure that the balance of Qi continues smoothly within themselves and within their family lineage. Disharmony with parents, whether through disrespect, neglect, or other forms of dissonance, can create blockages in this flow of energy. Qi can stagnate or become imbalanced, leading to illness, emotional distress, or spiritual struggles. It's believed that respecting parents ensures that the flow of energy remains open, bringing both physical health and spiritual well-being. In this sense, honoring parents isn't just a symbolic or emotional act—it's a practical way of maintaining the flow of vital energy that sustains life. Respecting one's parents ensures that the channels through which energy flows are clear and unobstructed, benefiting the individual, the family, and even the wider community. Ancestor Veneration and Spiritual Legacy: In East Asian cultures influenced by Confucianism, honoring parents is also part of the broader practice of ancestor veneration. Ancestors are considered to continue influencing the living world, and maintaining good relations with them is seen as essential for family prosperity and spiritual peace. Parents are considered to be the living connection between the individual and the ancestors. By respecting them, a person is acknowledging the spiritual bond that connects them to their lineage. This practice is particularly important during key rites of passage (such as birth, marriage, and death), where ancestral spirits are honored, and the flow of spiritual energy is sustained. In some Taoist and Buddhist traditions, offerings, prayers, and rituals are conducted to ensure that the spirits of ancestors, including parents, are respected and cared for after death. These practices maintain the flow of blessings and guidance from the ancestral realm, contributing to the spiritual well-being of the living. A Practical Path to Inner Peace: On a more personal level, honoring parents is seen as a way to cultivate inner peace and mindfulness. By demonstrating respect and gratitude for parents, individuals can nurture positive feelings, self-awareness, and emotional balance. This inner peace is reflected outwardly, fostering healthy relationships and a sense of harmony with the world. In many traditions, Qi or life force is directly linked to emotional and psychological states. By maintaining positive relationships, particularly with one's parents, an individual can cultivate a peaceful mind and a harmonious heart, which in turn supports the smooth flow of energy throughout the body. Conclusion: In traditions that view the universe as an interconnected whole, honoring one's parents is not merely a moral duty—it is a way of ensuring that the cosmic energies and spiritual forces of the universe remain in balance. By respecting and honoring parents, individuals honor the flow of life force (Qi) that connects generations, maintain spiritual harmony with ancestral wisdom, and align themselves with the natural rhythms of the cosmos. Disrespecting or neglecting one's parents can disrupt this harmony, potentially causing energetic blockages, karmic consequences, and a disconnection from spiritual guidance. Thus, honoring parents is viewed as a central practice for both personal well-being and the greater harmony of the world. You said: How does that relate to honoring parents in Christianity? ChatGPT said: In Christianity, the command to honor one's parents is a central moral and spiritual principle. It appears explicitly in the Ten Commandments and is echoed throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. While the concept of honoring parents in Christianity does not typically involve the same notions of Qi or cosmic energy as seen in Taoism or certain East Asian Buddhist traditions, it shares deep spiritual significance in terms of maintaining harmony, aligning with God's will, and fostering healthy relationships within the family. Here's how honoring one's parents in Christianity connects to broader spiritual principles, in a way that aligns with some of the themes found in other traditions: Moral Duty and Obedience to God: In Christianity, honoring one's parents is a direct command from God. In the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:12), the commandment is clear: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you." This is the only commandment with a promise attached—long life and blessings in the land. Honoring parents in this context is not just about showing respect but about fulfilling one's duty to God. By honoring parents, believers demonstrate obedience to God's command, acknowledging the divine order in family relationships. The act of honoring is therefore tied to honoring God's will and maintaining spiritual harmony in the home. Spiritual Harmony and the Family: Christianity views the family as a fundamental building block of society and the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Church" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Church</a>. The family unit is believed to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. In Ephesians 6:1-3, the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Apostle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apostle</a> Paul writes: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother—which is the first commandment with a promise—that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." This passage connects honoring parents with a larger spiritual framework, where harmony in the family is reflective of one's relationship with God. Just as honoring one's parents in Taoist or East Asian Buddhist traditions is about aligning with cosmic energies and the natural flow of life, in Christianity, honoring parents ensures that there is harmony in the home and alignment with God's plan for the family. A family that honors God and each other is thought to reflect divine love and unity. Love, Respect, and Relationships: In Christian teachings, love is central to all relationships, especially family relationships. In 1 John 4:20, it says: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/brother" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brother</a>, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." Honoring parents in Christianity is a way of showing love, gratitude, and respect. This reflects Christ's teachings on love and the importance of honoring all relationships, especially those that are foundational to one's upbringing. Loving and respecting parents is seen as a way to embody Christ-like love and to practice humility, patience, and selflessness in family life. The act of honoring parents, even when it is difficult, is a way of reflecting God's love and grace, acknowledging the role that parents have played in one's life, and upholding the sacredness of the family.

The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of parents teaching children about God, morality, and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/righteousness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righteousness</a>. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Proverbs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proverbs</a> 1:8 advises, "Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching." Parents are expected to instill wisdom, faith, and good behavior in their children. Honoring parents in this light involves recognizing their role in guiding and shaping one's character and faith, with the understanding that parents are entrusted by God to care for and educate their children in godly ways. Honor and the Kingdom of God: The idea of honoring one's parents is also connected to the concept of eternal life and the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Kingdom" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kingdom</a> of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/God" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#God</a>. By honoring one's parents, Christians fulfill a key part of their moral duty, which aligns them with God's greater plan for human flourishing. Ephesians 6:2-3 speaks about the promise of long life and well-being for those who honor their parents. This promise can be seen as a reflection of God's blessings for those who live in alignment with His will. The concept of blessing and well-being through honoring parents can be understood similarly to how Taoist and Buddhist traditions view the flow of energy or life force. In Christianity, honoring parents is a way of aligning oneself with <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/divine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#divine</a> blessings that are not only temporal but eternal, securing favor in this life and spiritual growth. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Restoration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Restoration</a> and Reconciliation: Honoring one's parents is also connected to the broader Christian teaching of reconciliation and forgiveness. The act of honoring one's parents is not just about outward respect, but about reconciliation in the heart, especially if there have been broken relationships or past grievances. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Christ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christ</a> teaches forgiveness, and the command to honor parents often invites <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Christians" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christians</a> to reconcile with their parents, forgive past hurts, and restore relationships. In this sense, honoring parents is a way of restoring spiritual peace and harmony, both within the family and with God. It reflects the Christian call to love and forgive as Christ has loved and forgiven, healing any emotional or relational wounds and re-establishing a connection that mirrors God's love. Conclusion: While Christianity does not incorporate the specific ideas of Qi or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/cosmic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cosmic</a> energy found in Taoism and some forms of Buddhism, the act of honoring parents in Christianity shares a similar emphasis on maintaining harmony—both within the family and in one's relationship with God. Honoring parents is seen as a spiritual duty that reflects love, obedience, respect, and reconciliation. It aligns with God's will and fulfills an important moral and spiritual command. The blessings promised to those who honor their parents in Christianity, including well-being and longevity, reflect a deeper spiritual principle: that honoring one's parents is a reflection of one's relationship with God, with the family, and with the divine order. You said: If a person disrespects their parents, it may be thought to block or disturb this vital energy, affecting the individual's health, vitality, and spiritual well-being. Can hatred towards a spouse's parents create mental illness? ChatGPT said: Yes, from both a spiritual and psychological perspective, negative emotions like hatred toward a spouse's parents can contribute to mental and emotional struggles, though the mechanisms may differ depending on the context. Here's a deeper dive into how such feelings can impact mental health, vitality, and spiritual well-being: Psychological and Emotional Impact: Internal Conflict and Emotional Stress: Harboring hatred or resentment toward a spouse's parents can create significant inner turmoil. This emotional stress may manifest in various ways, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and general dissatisfaction. If these feelings are unresolved or internalized, they can cause chronic stress, which is known to contribute to mental health issues like insomnia, depression, or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/panic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#panic</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/attacks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attacks</a>. Relationship Tension: Hatred toward a spouse's parents can also strain the relationship with the spouse, leading to conflict, miscommunication, or even resentment between the couple. This tension can further exacerbate emotional problems and might create a cycle of negative feelings, making it difficult for the individual to achieve peace of mind and emotional stability. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Guilt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guilt</a> and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Shame" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shame</a>: For some individuals, the act of disliking or hating a spouse's parents may also be accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame, especially if they feel these feelings are wrong or if their spouse expects them to have a good relationship with their parents. These negative feelings can further exacerbate mental distress. Spiritual and Energetic Consequences: Disruption of Harmony: In spiritual traditions that emphasize balance and harmony—like <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Taoism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taoism</a>, Buddhism, or certain Eastern <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/philosophies" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophies</a>—negative emotions like hatred can be seen as disrupting the flow of energy (such as <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Qi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qi</a> or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Pre" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pre</a>-Qi). If a person is consistently holding onto hatred toward a spouse's parents, it could block the flow of vital energy within themselves, leading to spiritual dissonance and emotional imbalance. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Karmic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Karmic</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Consequences" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consequences</a>: In certain belief systems, harboring hatred or resentment is thought to create negative karma. This means that negative emotional energy generated through hatred could, over time, manifest in various aspects of the individual's life, including mental health or physical ailments. The imbalance in one's energy or spiritual disconnection could manifest as personal struggles, including mental illness or spiritual crises. Disrespecting <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Family" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Family</a> Bonds: Just as disrespecting one's own parents in some spiritual systems can lead to a breakdown in familial energy and harmony, the same might be true when it comes to a spouse's parents. If the bond between the individual and the spouse's family is severed or filled with hatred, it could affect the overall energetic balance within the household, contributing to a sense of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/disharmony" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disharmony</a> and disconnection from both the family unit and the larger flow of spiritual energy. Physical Manifestations of Emotional <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Strain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Strain</a>: Stress and Chronic Illness: Psychological research has shown that unresolved negative emotions, like hatred, can manifest physically in the body. Chronic stress from unresolved <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/anger" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anger</a> or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/resentment" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resentment</a> toward a spouse's parents may lead to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, digestive issues, and even <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/chronic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronic</a> conditions like high blood pressure or heart disease. The constant state of emotional tension could negatively impact the body's immune system, making the individual more susceptible to illness. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Somatization" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Somatization</a>: In some cases, mental and emotional stress stemming from negative feelings toward others can be "somatized," or turned into physical symptoms. For example, the body may experience physical discomfort (pain, tightness, tension) that doesn't have an obvious physical cause but is the result of emotional <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/distress" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distress</a>. This can be particularly troubling for individuals who are unaware of the emotional root cause of their symptoms. Family and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Interpersonal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Interpersonal</a> Dynamics: Strained <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Marital" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marital</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Relationships" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Relationships</a>: If one <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/spouse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spouse</a> harbors hatred toward the other's <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/parents" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parents</a>, it can strain the relationship between the couple, causing emotional and relational damage. The spouse whose parents are disliked may feel torn between loyalty to their parents and supporting their partner's feelings, which can lead to resentment, miscommunication, or conflict. Stress on Children: If the couple has children, the negative energy created by hatred or unresolved conflict toward the spouse's parents may affect the children as well. Children are highly sensitive to emotional tension within the home, and if there is ongoing hostility or stress, they may develop their own emotional issues, potentially leading to behavioral problems or emotional difficulties. Social Isolation: <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Hatred" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hatred</a> or hostility toward a spouse's family can lead to social isolation, as the individual may choose to avoid social events or family gatherings, further distancing themselves from a supportive network. This <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/isolation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#isolation</a> can exacerbate feelings of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/loneliness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#loneliness</a>, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/depression" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#depression</a>, or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/anxiety" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anxiety</a>. Spiritual Disconnect and Lack of Forgiveness: The Importance of Forgiveness: In many spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and others, forgiveness is emphasized as a key to spiritual peace and well-being. Holding onto hatred or grudges toward a spouse's parents can prevent healing and personal growth. It is believed that forgiveness not only frees the person from emotional and spiritual turmoil but also restores <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/harmony" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmony</a> and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/balance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#balance</a> to their life. Spiritual <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Guidance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guidance</a> and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Peace" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Peace</a>: In <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Christianity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a>, for example, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Jesus" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jesus</a> teaches forgiveness, saying, "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). Similarly, in Buddhism, the practice of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Metta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Metta</a> (loving-kindness) encourages cultivating compassion even toward those who are difficult to love. In these spiritual practices, holding onto negative feelings like hatred is seen as spiritually harmful and obstructive to inner peace and mental health. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Energetic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energetic</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Blockages" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blockages</a>: From a Taoist or energy-based perspective, not forgiving and holding onto hatred can create blockages in the flow of Qi (life energy). This stagnation could lead to emotional and physical imbalance, which might be seen as contributing to mental illness or chronic stress. The lack of forgiveness and the unresolved negative energy can prevent healing from occurring. Conclusion: While there is no direct, universally accepted cause-and-effect relationship between hatred toward a spouse's parents and mental illness, it is clear that holding onto negative emotions like hatred can lead to significant emotional, psychological, and even physical distress. From a spiritual standpoint, this emotional burden could create disharmony within the individual, block the flow of life energy, and negatively impact relationships, leading to further emotional or mental struggles. Releasing these negative emotions through forgiveness, communication, and emotional healing can help restore balance and promote well-being, both mentally and spiritually. You said: Is negative karma the cause of bipolar or manic disorder? ChatGPT said: The question of whether negative karma is the cause of bipolar disorder (or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/manic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manic</a>-depressive disorder) is complex and touches on the intersection of spiritual beliefs and modern psychology. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that involves extreme <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/mood" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mood</a> swings, including emotional highs (<a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/mania" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mania</a> or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/hypomania" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypomania</a>) and lows (depression). It is a medical condition with biological, genetic, and environmental factors that influence its onset and course. On the other hand, negative karma is a spiritual concept found in traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, and refers to the consequences of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/harmful" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#harmful</a> or unwholesome actions, thoughts, and intentions. Karma and Mental Health: In spiritual traditions, karma is often understood as a force that affects one's life based on their actions, both good and bad. It is believed that negative actions or harmful intentions in past lives or even in this life can create karmic consequences that may manifest in suffering, misfortune, or even health problems in the present life. Karma and Mental Health: Some spiritual teachings suggest that unresolved negative karma from past actions or harmful behavior toward others can manifest in this lifetime as psychological distress or suffering. In this view, conditions like bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety could be seen as the result of karmic imbalances or unresolved emotional baggage. Perspective on Karma and Illness: However, this interpretation is more metaphorical than literal. Spiritual traditions that include the concept of karma often do not view it as a direct, one-to-one cause of physical or mental illness, but rather as part of a broader process of spiritual growth, learning, and self-purification. In these contexts, karma is viewed as influencing the general conditions of one's life but is not necessarily seen as the sole or direct cause of mental <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/health" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> conditions. Modern Understanding of Bipolar Disorder: Biological and Psychological Factors: From a <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/scientific" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scientific</a> and medical perspective, bipolar disorder is considered a mental health condition with known biological and psychological components. Genetics, neurotransmitter imbalances (especially dopamine and serotonin), and structural brain differences are well-documented as contributing factors to the disorder. Stress, trauma, and other environmental factors can also play a role in triggering or exacerbating episodes of mania or depression. Not Caused by Karma: Modern <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/psychology" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/psychiatry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatry</a> do not attribute mental illnesses like bipolar disorder to negative karma or spiritual consequences. Instead, the condition is understood in terms of brain chemistry, genetics, and life experiences. Medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments are common methods for managing the condition. The Relationship Between Spiritual Views and Mental Health: Spiritual Healing vs. Medical Treatment: In some spiritual or religious contexts, individuals may interpret the symptoms of mental illness as linked to negative <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/karma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#karma</a> or as a form of spiritual <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/imbalance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imbalance</a>. In these cases, people might seek spiritual healing practices, such as meditation, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/prayer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prayer</a>, or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/energy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> work, in addition to medical treatment. This is especially common in some <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Eastern" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eastern</a> spiritual traditions (like <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Buddhism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buddhism</a>, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Hinduism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a>, or <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Taoism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taoism</a>), where the mind and body are seen as interconnected. Integration of Both Approaches: In some cultures, individuals might integrate both spiritual healing (such as addressing negative karma or seeking forgiveness) and medical treatment for bipolar disorder. While traditional <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/medicine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicine</a> may help with the <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/physiological" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physiological</a> aspects of the disorder, spiritual practices could focus on emotional and karmic healing, helping individuals feel more at peace with themselves and their past actions. Spiritual Perspectives on Suffering and Healing: Suffering as a Path to <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Growth" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Growth</a>: Many spiritual traditions view suffering, whether in the form of mental illness or other challenges, as an opportunity for growth, transformation, and enlightenment. Rather than focusing solely on the cause of suffering (whether from karma or other sources), the emphasis is often placed on how one responds to it. This includes developing compassion, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/resilience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resilience</a>, and understanding. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Compassion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compassion</a> and Forgiveness: In both Buddhism and Christianity, for example, there is an emphasis on <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/cultivating" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cultivating</a> compassion and forgiveness for oneself and others. For someone struggling with bipolar disorder, practicing self-compassion and seeking <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/forgiveness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forgiveness</a> for past actions (whether related to karmic views or not) could be a part of their emotional healing process. Mindfulness and Acceptance: In many spiritual practices, mindfulness and acceptance are seen as powerful tools for managing emotional and psychological challenges. For example, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/mindfulness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mindfulness</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/meditation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a> (often used in <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/Buddhist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buddhist</a> traditions) can help individuals observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, creating a sense of inner peace and helping them manage the intense mood swings that are characteristic of bipolar disorder. Conclusion: Integrating Medical and Spiritual Approaches: While negative karma may be seen by some as a contributing factor to suffering or psychological distress, bipolar disorder is primarily understood as a medical condition that arises from complex biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Spiritual traditions that include the concept of karma may offer interpretations and healing practices that address emotional or spiritual aspects of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/suffering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suffering</a>, but these views are not necessarily in opposition to medical treatment. Spiritual <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/healing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#healing</a> and mental health care are not mutually exclusive, and many people find benefit in integrating both approaches. Those struggling with bipolar disorder or any mental health issue should seek professional <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/medical" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medical</a> advice for diagnosis and treatment, while also exploring spiritual practices (if they find it meaningful) to promote <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/emotional" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emotional</a> and <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/spiritual" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiritual</a> well-being. In essence, <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/negative" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#negative</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/karma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#karma</a> might be considered one lens through which some individuals interpret personal suffering or challenges, but it is not regarded as the direct or sole cause of <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/mental" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mental</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/illnesses" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#illnesses</a> like <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/bipolar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bipolar</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/disorder" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disorder</a>. <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/tamingthesilence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tamingthesilence</a>

Please check research methods when conclusions are very important to you. ** -------------------------------------------------TITLE: Building muscle strength and mass may help reduce depression risk, study suggestsURL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/building-muscle-strength-and-mass-may-help-reduce-depression-risk-study-suggests/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.psypost.org/building-muscle-strength-and-mass-may-help-reduce-depression-risk-study-suggests/</a>Building muscle might do more than improve physical health — it could also help protect against depression. A study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders has found that adults with stronger grip strength and greater muscle mass were less likely to experience depression. The findings suggest that targeting muscle development through exercise may be an effective strategy to improve mental health.Depression is a widespread mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide, characterized by persistent sadness, reduced energy, and difficulty finding pleasure in previously enjoyable activities. It is a leading cause of disability and places a significant burden on individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Despite advancements in treatments like therapy and medication, many patients experience recurrent episodes, underscoring the need for better preventive strategies.Muscle mass and strength are known to decline with age and can also be affected by lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity. While previous studies have suggested a potential connection between muscle health and depression, the results have been inconsistent, possibly due to differences in study design and measurement methods. The new study, led by Linjie Qiu of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, aimed to clarify this relationship by analyzing a large, nationally representative dataset from the United States.The researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a large-scale program that collects health information from participants across the United States. The study focused on data collected between 2011 and 2014. After excluding participants who were under 18 years old, pregnant, or missing key data, the final analysis included 4,871 individuals.Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a widely used tool for measuring depressive symptoms based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria. Scores on the PHQ-9 range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. Participants with scores of 10 or higher were classified as having depression.Muscle mass was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, a precise method for determining the lean mass of the arms and legs. Grip strength, a common measure of muscle strength, was assessed with a dynamometer, which measures the maximum force a person can exert with their hands. Each participant performed the grip test three times with each hand, and the researchers used the highest combined score for analysis.The study revealed a clear negative association between both muscle strength and muscle mass and the likelihood of depression. For every 5-kilogram increase in grip strength, the likelihood of depression decreased by about 5.7%. Participants in the highest quartile of grip strength had a 39.9% lower risk of depression compared to those in the lowest quartile.Similarly, for every 1-kilogram increase in appendicular lean mass, the likelihood of depression decreased by about 5.5%. Participants in the highest quartile of muscle mass had a 44.1% lower risk of depression compared to those in the lowest quartile.The researchers also found that these associations were stronger in certain subgroups. For example, the relationship between muscle strength and depression was particularly pronounced in individuals aged 40 to 59, likely due to the natural decline in muscle mass that begins around age 30. Similarly, the link between muscle mass and depression was stronger in men and in individuals with a healthy body mass index.Interestingly, the study identified potential non-linear trends in the data. For grip strength, there appeared to be a threshold effect: once participants exceeded a certain level of strength, the protective effect against depression plateaued.The researchers controlled for a range of other factors that could influence the results, including age, gender, race, marital status, education, income, physical activity levels, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and diabetes. But as with all research, there are some caveats to consider. Because the data were collected at a single point in time, the researchers could not determine whether low muscle mass and strength cause depression or whether depression leads to reduced muscle health. Longitudinal studies that track participants over time are needed to clarify this relationship.Future studies could also explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between muscle health and depression. For example, physical activity is known to promote the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that supports brain function and mood regulation. Understanding these mechanisms could inform targeted interventions.“In summary, our study found that lower appendicular lean mass (ALM) and grip strength are associated with an increased likelihood of developing depression,” the researchers concluded. “This finding may inform public health policy makers and clinicians that enhancing muscle mass and strength through exercise could help prevent and mitigate depression.

aby is tired of your bullshitIf you see a public psychiatrist in NSW, you might want to check in with them about the future of your access to them.Public psychiatrists in NSW are set to resign on 21st January, as industrial action. They earn a fraction of what psychs in other state public systems (or private psychs) earn, and have been asking for wage increases. The government keeps saying no.

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱IMO high functioning (level 1) autism doesnt exist in much the same way that someone who is a bit sad from time to time doesnt have high-functioning depression. They represent perfectly healthy and normal people.That said their expiernces of struggling to relate to people is very real. This isnt autism however, this is the rest of society (the majority) with crippling personality disorders instead.The problem with psychology is it assums the majority represent normalcy.<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/psychiatry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatry</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/NEURODIVERGENT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NEURODIVERGENT</a>

How Big Pharma Makes Healthy People Sick | ENDEVR Documentary <a href="https://youtu.be/xJs9lK8PIok" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/xJs9lK8PIok</a> "The gorila in the room is the drug industry." (49:32) "Drug companies spend something like $80 billion dollars per year on marketing and lobbying. They spend much, much less on research and most of the research they do is really a tool of marketing, not developing new products." (51:04) "The longer you take a study out, the more likely you are to see people not doing well on that drug ... or developing side effects." The pharmaceutical industry doesn't favor long term studies for drugs for monetary reasons and for outcome reasons. They don't want to show that their drug actually doesn't do well." (51:24) "There's as much marketing in the tests that are devised to measure the outcomes, in the investigators that are hired to conduct the study. All of that stuff is marketing, but it's presented and manufactured and published as science." (51:45) "They funnell all sorts of money to what are called 'thought leaders.' Academic psychiatists at prestigious American universities; Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins and those academic psychiatrists began working for the drug companies as consultants serving as their speakers, advisors etc. " "You would start with a clinical study of the drug, but who's designing the study? The pharmaceutical companies. They know how to design it to make their drug look good. That's step one." "Who then analyzes the data? Well, their own people do it. It's done by the drug companies themselves." "Third then, who writes the papers? It's actually ghost writers hired by the drug companies to write up the study." "They now present the study to the people that they want to be the big names on the study. And then those thought leaders basically sign off on the ghost written papers and they become 'the authors' of the published paper." "The former editors of the medical journals like JAMA and New England Journal of Medicine and BMJ, British Medical Journal, they've all said that basically we became vehicles for story laundering. It was a corrupted creation of an evidence based system." (54:18) "It has been that half of the deaths that occur in psychiatrid drug trials, they're never published. They disappear." "The difference between an honest drug test and one that can be manipulated can be billions of dollars. So what do you think they'll do?" <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/bigpharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigPharma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/bigharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigHarma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/genderindustrialcomples" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderIndustrialComples</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/banssris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanSSRIs</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/medicalquackery" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MedicalQuackery</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/skeptic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skeptic</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/freespeech" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freespeech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/pseudoscience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PseudoScience</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/junkscience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JunkScience</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/psychiatry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychiatry</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/fraud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fraud</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/hoax" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hoax</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/wellness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wellness</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/radicalfeminism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadicalFeminism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/radfem" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadFem</a>
