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

( 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...

Getting Closer to a New Year ... Are We Ready? :)

( EN ) - Ha! Another year comes to an end! ... When I look back, I feel as if the year went by so quickly. Take this photo I took, for example: the time stamp shows the date as Saturday, Jan 7, 2017 at 7:05 pm. But I remember it like it was just a week ago... Yeah, yeah, I know: this is how we perceive time when we look back, especially as we get older ... :) But still... Either way, 2018 is just around the corner and I wonder how you feel about it. You know, we, humans, like to have a closure. Hence, we tend to have one -or several- when we near the end of the year. So, how do you feel? Any resolutions? Any big plans? Any promises to stop doing this or start doing that? Any personal goals to help improve your life? Well, as for me... I love new beginnings! Not just the start of a new year, but all beginnings; every morning is included. So, I don't have any big plans. In fact, I don't plan my life anymore. I just try to live one day at a time. I may not be th...

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...
