Of course short term memory actually technically is part of executive function. Agree it sounds like a big factor is waiting until there is ‘fit’ between suze/length of short term memory and the particular‘chunk’ of the problem needed to be analysed. it may be eventually exhaustion and other...

Yep sophists start with ‘what they want’ which eventually ends with self-kidding and not being able to see it. but it begins with seeking, then seeing, what they want and is based on being the type who just ‘wants to win an argument by saying lots of words that back up what they’ve decided they...

I'm not sure the 'Integration disorder' this is translated to is 'sensory integration disorder'. The closest article I've come to describing what it might be in these terms is: Is Schizophrenia a Type of Neurodivergence? | Psychology Today United Kingdom and I say with caveats that this is just...

I have found the following too, which is from 2014 and is interesting because it notes how these changes happened in other Asian countries following this (but how eg European has been slower to follow, despite it seems patients perhaps wanting such an update): Name Change for Schizophrenia |...

Fascinating to think that so few patients were informed of the diagnosis, and that such a change in % informed happened just based on name change etc (which must surely mean it wasn't only down to how ill a patient was etc) Is not informing people of their diagnoses something specific to eg...

Yep all the things that claim to be there to help are just extra energy and being played. Having a condition where people can pretend or choose not to understand because of the fantasy manifestos about ‘curing yourself with different thinking’ means bullying and ignoring is effectively allowed...

’priming’ you mean? So that when someone jollily replies to someone’s comment with their story of recovery in a certain tone and that person says no thanks they are primed to suggest ‘that’s coz they r haterz who don’t want to get better’ type thing? Edited as had mulched an old post hadn’t...

yep. This was a good posting and I think it’s very insightful given other news about NIH (and wondering whether that is good or could be used for bad etc)

No your advice works but it’s probably worth me noting what it was. MEA fb makes a post about the article. Then as they often seem to do these days writes some ‘sticky’ comments as a continuation (to add further info whilst keeping post short I guess). One of these is EDIT the MEA noting there...

Now I know his background is rheumatology and nothing to do with neuro the idea of this being with intentions to find some ‘good cure that might be science fiction but at least heart in right place from someone somewhere ’ seems even less likely / I’m even more cynical. Not that there aren’t...

But MEA need to protect their fb users if they do a thread where she is mentioned by them agsin I think - plus there I think were many many more comments from her not replied to which wouldn’t be caught in a screenshot but have contextualised someone eg saying a polite ‘thanks but no thanks’ as...

I think that next time MEA mention her in an article or comments the sensible thing is to warn readers of this likelihood before she does begin writing to them (the rest of the fb commenters, by her replying to their comments). I only noticed that her and Paul’s reply was mentioned in their...

Yes I think she basically was replying to most comments with whatever spiels - like an antagonist might I now see in hindsight - then went back and amended to make whatever reply (which might have been pretty polite given what she wrote) look as if people were randomly puzzled with her etc. So...

I think we need to begin to have some good psychologist noting the long term common sense and obvious harms this therapy and assumption causes it seems they keep getting away with re trying different versions ‘just in case’ even after one has been proven not to work due to some insane pmass...

It would be an awful thing to do for many reasons, but putting other conditions at their various stages onto said scale would provide anchor points/comparators that ballpark the different levels. I agree that when I say 80% disabled it can sound like 'I'm almost disabled' rather than so...

I saw that post. She almost replied to every comment (even though the article was nothing to do with either her or her area) I've just edited this because her and Garner's reply was mentioned - I think it is worth noting many won't have known who this person was when it was originally up. It...

oops lacking insight a bit there is it not? But is this lightening process type thing related in which case I guess that is the brain 'retrain' of that isn't it ? On a general note, I'm always curious about people who claim things like this when it might be themselves they think might be...

We also need people to underline that we aren't 'unfit'. Which seems to have been turned into a dirty word (ambiguous meanings used again) and mis-applied due to people being allowed to make their own assumptions (diagnoses they aren't qualified to make) based on how people look or sound...

Exactly. I think that whether there are clinics that are ME-specific or some sort of other format (that provides a conduit to EDIT: and brings up to speed, local services like social services and GPs and hospitals) the Physios for ME information was transformative because it simply and...

@Trish and many others And yes, we do seem to have an issue that is well-encapsulated in the reading of this paragraph. Ironically the sentence that I have boldened seems to present the 'divide' "It covers multidisciplinary, person-centred care involving: family/carers; joint decision-making...
