- many psychology-related blogs
- a blog about how “we simply are not getting the kind of results that patients, myself included, were promised 20 years ago at the dawn of the psychopharmacological revolution”
- confirmation of a correlation between autism and rainfall
- the selling of Dr. Joseph Biederman, a Harvard child psychiatrist
- trouble at “The Infinite Mind” (a radio show). “Dr. Fred Goodwin [the show's host] accepted at least $1.3 million in pharmaceutical company speakers’ fees while he was hosting . . . Goodwin defended his actions by claiming this is what all doctors do, plus he took funding from all kinds of pharma companies so that canceled out his conflicts.” As if non-pharma therapies didn’t matter.

I’m curious about how much of mental illness is directly caused by people silently repeating a statement over and over to themselves. Most of such statements are false or indeterminable, of course, but I suspect even true statements would cause trouble. This is a culturally encouraged behavior in many settings, particularly religious ones.
Has anybody looked into this, that you know of?

I don’t know of anyone looking into that.
