#disorders

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I am always studying how the #brain works as I have a few very complicated #disorders associated with it, and #neurology so my desire to understand myself leads me to trying to understand the #science of why.

I was studying how different #drugs affect the nervous system, and into the topic of mixing them, and how that leads to your perception.

You can't get "high" in multiple ways at once.

Your brain turns it all into one input, and it's like an entirely different drug.

Whose Cognitive Decline Is It? by Mary Trump

#Trump has always been easily swayed by whomever or whatever is in front of him

Lately his decline has become even more obvious. whether its due to some kind of #neurological condition or worsening of his long #undiagnosed, #untreated #psychiatric #disorders or both

Sometimes it isn’t clear if he’s oriented to space, time & people. It's particularly evidenced during recent press conferences, interviews.

The #resurgence of the r-word.

Disability advocates spent a decade campaigning against the #slur. Now it’s coming back.

Around 15 years ago, a new campaign took off across the young social media ecosystem.

People with #learningdisabilities and intellectual #disorders were asking everyone else to stop using the #rword to describe them or even to make jokes. No more, “Bro, that movie’s so dumb, it’s [r-word]…”
