The Biology of Depression: The Affects of Stress
While it’s clear that stress can make depression worse, it’s never been clear why this is. Dr. Owen Wolkowitz, a professor of psychiatry at UCSF, explores the biological connection between stress and depression.

Not sure if anyone noticed or commented on this yet, but the title _should_ read “The Effects of Stress” as opposed to “The Affects of Stress,” which is meaningless.

How about making a useful contribution?
Better still, how about making the most useful contribution you conceivably can. That would give that powerful mind of yours something to chew on,? wouldn’t it?
@jskinner
that would mean a bilion less tablets of Prozac prescribed per month. Prozac sales create jobs, which in turn support families.
You’re not against FAMILY, are you?.
you wouldn’t understand the nature of my ass if I was rubbing it on your crotch, depression can be a physical disease with biological causes. Go read a book, get a degree
I’m an artist, my life is god’s gift to you. I study nature both aesthetically and intellectually. Some cases of depression (including my own) have mainly biological causes. When you feel like learning you can google doctor Thierry Hertoghe and when you want to contribute to the world you can feed me strawberries and lick my pussy.
“Dr. Owen Wolkowitz . . . explores the biological connection between stress and depression.”
Dear Dr. Wolkowitz,
A study of brain cells is unable to provide a practical, coherent and cohesive understanding of human behavior, stress or depression.
Your study of the underlying law of nature, however, will provide such an understanding.
Google it, to start.
Respectfully yours,

You are exactly right.
“Some scientists don’t even acknowledge existence of the mind these days, …”
And have a look at Ecdysiast96’s post above yours. It contains zero intelligent content. It makes not the slightest useful contribution while attempting to make your perfectly insightful post seem off beat.
Regards.
Think of the underlying law of nature. The way of all things.
Consider its astounding inferences and implications.
The single, underlying law … of nature! Not merely of physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc., but of all known fields of inquiry. The law we can all relate to, identify, understand and apply.
Ask yourself. What is the underlying law of nature?
Delight in the question. Have fun in the process of finding the answer firsthand for yourself.
Google it, as a start.
your mind, (by which I think you mean consciousness or personality) is a culmination of the activities of the brain. Scientists don’t study metaphors. Go dissect a human, grab me out the mind, I think it’s right under the soul. Fry ‘em up lets see what they taste like. I think everything that exists should be lickable
I’m shocked on how little we know about the mind. So much is energy is directed to the brain and synapses but little investigation goes to this phenomena of the mind. Some scientists don’t even acknowledge existence of the mind these days, there was a more pronounced interest in the 60’s.
great talk, thanks for posting
Affect can also be a noun, in the sense of an emotional or emotional expression. “He had a flat affect.” In this regard, the title could *almost* be right, but clearly the title maker intended “effects” (as a plural noun).
excellent work!
hmmcant seem to find a guy who isnt a coward
Argue?
@emperorzong I can’t believe I argued with such a pathetic brat.
you are a waste of time.
Peace
@emperorzong I wasted my time. I really hope you get hit by a car or something.
easy peasy
@emperorzong Oh, and did you just call me a homophobic closet homosexual bigot with hebephelia?? WOW. Great deduction skills there, chief. That spiel of yours was very impressive.
The narcissist believes they are superior in many aspects of life. They often have the delusion that they know more than qualified experts. Being cowards they can’t admit they might be inferior in some subjects, resulting in rage expressed through obscene words, and violence towards those who are weaker. It is rare the narcissist is co-morbid with Hebephilia. Such individuals are a menace to society. They are usually bigots with homophobic tendencies to hide their own homosexuality.
@emperorzong How about I shag your overweight mother, you obnoxious prick? You want know what’s unscientific? Psychiatry and its ass load of theories. You want to know who’s narcissistic? Psychiatrists. They treat people like subhuman test subjects. Everyone knows that, at least. Oh and I just looked at your page and noticed you have a “critical thinking” video favorited. All I can say is ‘Wow’. Way to put that to good use, you corny, douchey, fruity, fuck turd sheep.
PEACE.
P.S. You’re gay.
