A girl asked me: "What did you do to get out of horrible position in life you were in? I am still in it and I am trying to get out..."

I write out 10 mindset quotes I applied and she responds: "You're a bad person. You say it like you are better than me".

Blocked.

#motivation

1. Everything that happens in your life - Is your fault. Even, if you can't control it.

You could've prepared for the worst even when expecting the best.

2. #Depression is not real.

1/ After chatting with @eugenemcfadden I've been thinking about embodiment. These things that are supposedly in our heads: #depression, #anxiety, #autism, #ADHD are for me PHYSICAL. Here are some thoughts on depression, and how it is different from sadness 🧵

@eugenemcfadden 2/ When you are sad, you are perhaps a little more of yourself. It makes you a little Cartesian; your mind, it seems, is noticing that you are feeling things, and knows it will have to wait this absurdity out, until you can go back to the numb comforts of normality.

@eugenemcfadden 3/ You observe a rawness within and without: eyelids and nostrils, follicles and skincells — these are the external, bodily realities that represent the internal shrinking and puckering.

“The #VehicularNoise Reduction Act would create a two-year pilot program to use a combination of #noise-detection devices, video cameras, and automated ticketing to hopefully cut down on vehicles with purposely loud or bad mufflers on DC roads.” @PVDMayor dcist.com/story/23/01/19…

I've wanted to write something about #depression for a while but I've been TOO DEPRESSED! Anyway this is not my first black dog rodeo and I'm on my way out the other side the last week. I think. So this is a 🧵. massive CONTENT WARNING for depression, suicide, my bullshit

So 2 things made me want to 🧵. There's an event coming up in the next few weeks that will bring out a lot of Mental Health Matters-ing people who would normally rather sell their home and move to Mars with El*n before they'd ask how you are ( I'm not naming the event)

Plus I saw this tweet from an account with over 13 million followes while I was doom scrolling and it struck me AGAIN that MH especially depression is still so misunderstood and misrepresented.

The Quirky Brain Coach #Autism #ADHD #AuDHD

@chasing_ling

I want to remind you all that not wanting to do anything or having to stimulate yourself with low energy stuff like eating or TV can be indicative of #AutisticBurnout for some, and that the old dopamine systems may need a bit of a reset.

If we think of burnout as an umbrella term for a state that can include fatigue, anxiety, depression and so on, then any of the symptoms of those will fall under the umbrella condition of burnout. With #depression, #anhedonia is a symptom for many.

#Anhedonia refers to a lack of pleasure. When I was in #burnout, I didn't want anything, I didn't know what I wanted and I couldn't even do things I actually loved. I ate and ate and ate to try and stimulate myself and kickstart my brain functioning.

New paper on skip-out questions in #depression diagnosis.
In many clinical interviews for depression, we query for core symptoms sad mood & anhedonia. If neither are present, we "skip" the other 7 symptoms (eg sleep, appetite) bc 1 of the core symptoms is required for diagnosis🧵

This is a practice to save time, but begs the question: are there people with many so-called "secondary" depression symptoms who do not have the core symptoms? This is what our new paper in JPCS led by the wonderful @orla_mcbride is about.

We also look into common data-analytic procedures to deal with skip-out data, such as imputing missing data with 0, meaning that if you don't have sad mood/anhedonia and we don't ask you about insomnia, we decide you don't have insomnia. Yep, bizarre, but it's really common.

Happy to share my 1st paper, in @BiologicalPsyc1! We investigated the links between 249 circulating metabolites & Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in @uk_biobank. A thread 🧵 of our main findings:👇

Firstly, a Metabolome Wide Association Study (MetWAS) found that 129 (~ 52%) of metabolites were significantly associated with MDD.

We ran GWAS on all metabolites & found that 144 (57 %) shared a significant genetic correlation with MDD ranging from (−) 0.073 (omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids) to (+) 0.180 (phospholipids to total lipids in large high-density lipoprotein)

@teaze_r @RedactedMom 1-) hEDS can not be detected w/ a genetic test. My child has an EDS gene in which I am positive that I am the one who passed it down. However they dismissed that gene mutation as a Variation of Unknown Significance, (VUS).
However scientists appear to be way ahead of that...

@teaze_r @RedactedMom 2-) ...geneticist because when I looked it up, having 1 copy of that mutated gene CAN cause problems. The mutation that I am talking about is a mutation in the COL12a1 gene. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@teaze_r @RedactedMom 3-)... My 1st sign of having this mutation was Clinical Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My 2nd sign was Plantar Facitus, however at the time that I started having those problems I didn't recognize either problem as being a part of something as a whole. The next sign that I can think...

Depression is associated with higher risk of stroke

1. In a study on 26,877 people (40% women; mean age 62 yrs), people with pre-stroke depressive symptoms during previous 12 months had 46% higher risk of acute stroke.
#MedTwitter #neurotwitter #depression #stroke

2. The risk of hemorrhagic stroke increased by 56% and ischemic stroke by 44%, if people had depressive symptoms in 12 months prior to stroke.
A larger magnitude of association with stroke was seen in patients with a greater burden of depressive symptoms.

3. People with depression also had poorer functional outcome one month after stroke (the risk of physical disability one month post-stroke was higher in people with depressive symptoms).

Great 🧵- my takeaway since having a 👶🏻myself: if a patient comes to the ER postpartum, DO NOT BLOW THEM OFF. The barrier to leave the house is so high, that if they put on pants to come to the ER, they NEED something. HELP.

https://twitter.com/DrMichelleLin/status/1639335791968288771

Women’s symptoms are often seen as histrionic or atypical at baseline by a medical system grown in patriarchy. Postpartum is one of the most vulnerable times in a woman’s life, so if they seek help, do so, without judgement or barrier.

The issue may be social or a knowledge gap or a lack of healthcare access, but it’s our duty to counsel/reassure/coordinate just as much as it is to treat a classic medical complaint.
