The exercise and food science people are the worst of social science buddy. Or just “social” something, because it’s not science. “Science-based” always makes me laugh.

The DSM only matters if somebody is actively seeking treatment for something that they have a problem with in their own situation. So what’s in there is totally irrelevant for the public at large. It’s only if somebody shows up and says there’s something going on that they don’t like. It’s really just billing codes, man. The reality is far different anyway, and it just gets distilled down to these primitive codes.

“Chemical imbalance” lol.

You have inadvertently outed yourself as not having a clue by your reply. It’s nothing personal but you just clearly don’t have a clue and/or don’t have skin in the game.

It’s fine. I don’t know anything about professional juggling because I have zero skin in that game.

Paging Dr. Brochacho: fMRI and brain networks have been around for a while!

The DSM diagnostic categories are glorified billing codes that everybody (who actually has real ground contact with mental health care for real for real) recognizes as primitive, Stone Age relics.

In five or ten years, these categories will feel like missteps of the past (akin to calling all mental illness “hysteria”).

Before I got my first pair of progressives lenses I saw a lot of conflicting anecdotal accounts. After doing research, the conclusion I came to was simple: I got the very best progressive lens that Lens Crafters sells because the best lens has a much larger intermediate “corridor” size than less expensive progressive lenses. I have had zero issues with my progressive lenses. I forget I even “have” progressive lenses at all!

By asking to talk to only those who have problems, you could be self selecting for a population who may not help you actually solve your problem, even if they mean well.

This is just my experience of course. When I did my initial research, I asked a question on Blind about progressive lenses. Lots of people said they have progressive lenses and they have zero problems.

If I was forced to guess, I would say that some (or maybe even all) of these folks who start talking about the computer glasses……it makes me wonder if they simply under-bought their lenses. Yes glasses are expensive. Getting a better lens will cost more. Yes yes, the Luxotica this and that. I don’t care about any of that crap. All I care about is getting the best lens possible and so should you!

Do what I mean!
