Not at all off-topic, @Mithriel. I'm not as confident of this as you. I think its part of the human condition to seek events in our history that...
Hi @richie, thanks for engaging. My point here is that the whole "mind and body are connected" claim is based on the notion that they are somehow...
What I really don't understand is, why do these people just dig themselves in deeper, lash out at their critics, when it would be so easy to...
Nice find, @rvallee. Nice to see too that it seems to be coming from someone with no interests at all, neither BPS proponent nor patient. which is...
Sure, @Sarah94. Keith Laws has been interested for a while in whether CBT in particular has any benefits for people with schizophrenia. He argues...
This post has been copied and the following discussion moved from this thread: Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS. BMJ articles. Has this...
There it is again. The use of the term "mind-body dualism" as a way of impugning those who believe any disease cannot be made better by thinking...
Excellent find, @TiredSam!
So glad you asked, @mango! What an offensive attempt to co-opt scientific ideas to justify absolute quackery and woo! First they say you can...

Watch out, NZ, looks like the use of wastebasket pseudopsychological diagnoses might be on the rise here...
Actually @rvallee, its even worse than that. This is another complete arse-about-face argument: So people with RA have a lot of pain and...
Interesting, @Ryan31337. May I ask what your diagnosis is - the one for which the biologics are prescribed? (fine not to say if you prefer not to)
Its some sort of magazine-style "expert commentary", rather than an academic article (although I don't think that really excuses it). It seems to...
Just in case you thought we were the only ones having to put up with this crap: The importance of fatigue in RA is underscored by several studies...
Sort of, it still involves the frontal lobes, but the tissue removed is different. The cingulum is a bundle of fibres that communicates between...
Yea. It also helped that the authors of the paper were also the surgeons. I love how the guy was expected to have a total personality meltdown if...
Just came across this and had to share this with you all. Very old, but still, my eyes popped at the patient descriptions. Not to mention the...
