Why is there never ever any testing? They diagnosed me with schizophrenia without suffering any symptoms. It’s such a crime and violence against people. I even got those problems through medications and I bet the the schizophrenic brain shows those kinds of delays because of the drugs given. I bet the brain didn’t even show those signs before the person was medicated.
This is so good. I am a Chinese student studying for the postgraduate qualifying examination in China. The presentation of the material was organized cleanly and logically, and your words made each concept easy to understand. really appreciate that. 🩷
Great video!!! Tysm for demonstrating such a conscientious description of this misunderstood and mysterious condition,I would love to acquire this presentation because I love to broaden my knowledge
You have great videos. thanks. You made me curious, are you biologist? or that you are psychologist? As a biologist myself you are familiar with both our jargon and with terms like receptors, enzymes, intracellular pathways, transcriptional machinery etc., that no psychologist knows. You are even familiar with the different G proteins (Gi, Gs, Gq) and the difference in affinities of different G protein coupled receptors (D1 and D2). If you are indeed a psychologist, then I am extremely impressed.
I get it, but it's pretty wild that 5-HT2A agonists, anticholinergics, NMDA antagonists, and kappa opioid agonists are traditionally grouped under one heading.
I'm a national subject matter on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT/MOUD) for opioid use disorder (addiction) and have trained individuals from the CDC to SAMHSA to county jails to small nonprofits, all trying to battle the addiction epidemic in the US. One of the most difficult pieces of these trainings involve explaining the neuro bio of addiction as a component of a "MAT 101" level training, which gives me about 10 minutes out of the 90 I usually must dive into this area. As you know, a 10-minute discussion barely scratches the surface, and I've taken to focusing quickly in on a brief overview of the reward system, but I use much of the info you provide, break it down for laypeople, and then use my own experience with oud and addiction to drive home the points in a very real way. You've provided critically important information regarding how the pathway functions, what drives the compulsion, and again importantly, the overview of the reward system as a feedback loop that reinforces the behavior. As William White said, and as I can attest, "if you want to move someone out of the culture of addiction, you must offer a better replacement, like a culture of recovery." Before I go, I have one gentle request as an educator to another educator; as you are almost certainly aware, the stigma towards ppl who use drugs is the is the #1 stigma in the world. Words like drug " abuse" are being replaced with more appropriate and less stigmatizing language, like "misused." (please see Harvard's research here www.recoveryanswers.org/research-post/the-real-stigma-of-substance-use-disorders/) The Behavioral Health world will thank you for your attention to strengths-based and person centered approach to ending stigma and bias. Thank you for your voice in this fight.
Hi Turbo! This playlist is a series of videos that were a component of an online class during the COVID shutdown. I left them up mostly because some of my current students use them to supplement reading, prep for class, and to review. They're not really intended as a strand-alone resource. I've been pleasantly surprised that a broader outside audience has found them generally useful.
can i just say, you are born to be a teacher!!!!! thank you sooooo much for explaining something i have spent hours on trying to understand in such a clear simple way!!!!!
