Never Thought About It Before, But ... Could someone please explain to me WHY?

Image
( ¹ ) ( EN ) - Could someone really tell me why psychiatrists don't normally look at the brain scans while they are trying to diagnose mental illnesses? To be honest, I've never thought about it until I watched the video above. The speaker is Dr Daniel Amen who is an American psychiatrist, a clinical neuroscientist, a brain disorder specialist and also the director of Amen Clinics. As he puts it in this TEDx talk, psychiatrists are the only medical specialists that virtually never look at the organ they treat ! How come? And come to think of it, how true! I mean, I'm not a doctor of any sorts but as logic dictates, what psychiatrists should really do first is actually to look at the organ they treat, right? And yes, I get it, imaging is still expensive. Yet other doctors do it all the time; that when we go to them, most of the time they order imaging right away and we comply whether it's expensive or not, don't we? So, being expensive is not the issue here a...

Do You Know What's The Most Vicious Cycle We Can Easily be Trapped into?

(How typical of me¹!: Listening to music while running errands) (Nasıl da tam da ben¹!: Angaryaları hallederken müzik dinlemek) 👉 Türkçe'si Aşağıda 👇 ( EN ) - Here, first, let me ask you: what do you do on your "me time"? Hmmm... I think, right now, I hear some of you saying cynically: "Me time? Kidding?" Or may be, some of you are getting angry since I'm reminding you of a non-existent time concept in your life right now ... And I get it, sometimes me time sounds like a fantasy. But in this chaotic nature of today's world, it's obviously a necessity, not a fantasy, in my opinion... So, I'm not backing down: I'm definitely here to remind you... On the other hand, no worries, folks. I'm not going to exaggerate, nor will I overrate, the concept of me time. And I know; life moves pretty fast and there are many things in our lives that we need to catch up on. But the thing is that the attempts to 'catch up' on many t...

Here Comes December ... and More Revelations

Image
( EN ) - Ahh, here comes December and with it comes more self-consciousness... I got sick last week. It was probably a virus, causing me trouble for a little bit. Especially for the first two days, I was feeling pretty bad, also weak, and I was in bed, mostly sleeping. Then on the following days, I started getting better. But as my doctors advised me to take a good rest for a speedy recovery, I obeyed and stayed at home, mostly resting. Hence, I had too much time on my hands. Guess what I did with this extra bit of time? Ha haa, yes, I did what I love most: read couple of articles, related to a project I'm building up. And of course, while I was searching for a reading material for the project I had in mind, I came across a couple of -not related but- great blog posts and one of them stayed in my mind longer than expected... and surprising as it may seem, yet it wasn't actually, with it came more awareness... The article¹ was about how we miss what is . Yes, it'...
