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

(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

Time Rules Our Lives ... But What, Exactly, Is Time?

👉 Türkçe'si Aşağıda 👇 ( EN ) - Here is the million-dollar question, folks! What, exactly, is time? Ah, yes, yes... We all know what time is; it's either the ticking of a clock or a day on the calendar. It's something we deal with everyday, something that we all think we understand. But do we really? No, not really. I've checked it and believe me, there are millions of facts and theories out there, but again there's not one clear answer yet... Neither from scientists nor from philosophers... Now... where did this come from, you may ask? Funny but it's true; through a 2014 movie, Interstellar. Sure, I watched it then, when it was in theatres and loved it. But I forgot it completely up until yesterday. In fact, it wasn't the movie that got me here. No, I didn't watch the movie again. It was the video essay that I've come across -the one that I posted¹ here too. After I watched it, it got me thinking... For starters, it made me realise that
