Of course it happened to people, but at the same rate as people who had not been just vaccinated. There are a lot of things correlated to things happening to people, and we tend to see a process of causation, it's natural. But only an epidemiology study can indicate if the rate of these things...

Not, it does not ask about your physical ability, and that's a problem. Because someone prevented to do a thing by pain for example could answer positively while not experiencing anhedonia at all. To be more acurate, a question supposed to detect anhedonia should be centered about these...

Trust is important in the doctor/patients relationship. So be open to what patients feel and ask them what's the link between their symptoms and their emotions. (Of course, this trust relashionship stops instantly if patients say there's no link. Then, deny their reality and start to convert...

I think everyone here perfectly understands what anhedonia is, the problem is that this question is not properly worded to differentiate between anhedonia and inability/difficulty to perform an enjoyed task because of physical constraints. And you often answer questionaires without someone...

Abstract

They equated getting up from a chair to climbing a stair, hence if they can do the former, they can do the latter. I have no knee pain, so may be wrong, but intuitively I would think that the repetition of gestures + the fact that the whole body weighs on one knee when climbing contrary to...

I was using your logic. No. I think depression can be caused by environmental factors (and have biological factors too), but I won't use ther term "psychogenic", because of all the wrong theories that are linked to this term and also the fact that it simply omits social factors and put all the...

I don't have a strong opinion about what causes depression but your argument doesn't stand. If an illness is not caused by something, it doesn't mean this something is not causing something else. Your sentence is like stating: diabetes is not caused by viruses, I don't understand why you'd say...

Is the cohort representative then? (real question, not rhetorical :))

Psychological taylorism. You have a single and simple model that you apply to every illnesses you happen to work on. You have adapted tools that measure only positive results. Spares time and intellectual activity. You can copy and paste lots of stuff. MM and her mates are geniuses, truly.

I read this thread on twitter and found it interesting: In particular:

The lack of conventional medicine was caused by the belief (widespread in alt medicine) that conventional medicine is chemical and dangerous and bad. Anti-vaxers tropes are part of alt medicine. And the article I linked to is pretty clear, it links to several studies, not anecdotes, that show...

And a list doesn't tell us how you gathered these symptoms, in which trial and how these symptoms were assessed, how common they are, what criteria were used to define the illness etc...

Biogen, the lab selling this new treatment, seems very involved in this, which is a red flag to me. Is it a story of a missed opportunity for Alzheimer patients, or is it a lab trying to create a narative to sell their product after a mitigated trial? I have no idea...

A lot of doctors are, in good faith, convinced that their clinical judgment is better than a clinical trial because they are biased, and it's human. That's why clinical trials are set up: to eliminate all imaginable biases or unwanted elements that can interfere with the results. Untill...

Very nice comment @Trish

Where are the solid studies with decent control groups, solid blinding and sound methodology that prove this? (and i don't mean the first studies one can find googling).
