@ThreeOfOne I agree

I only take evolutionary psychology seriously

Out of curiosity, has anyone here actually been in a psychiatric ward?

Nope @mikeflarkin

Evolutionary psychology is pseudoscience, too.

nope I haven't

I tell u cause most of my colleagues joke about them all the time

I have.

Really for what reason

he's a patient

I have also

I spent a week in one about four years ago. Checked myself in because I was at the lowest point I had ever been in my life.

But as a doctor

Straight up, it helped. A lot.

@devpav I think if you're not looking at human psychology through the context of evolution then you're never going to come to any meaningful conclusions on anything

I needed to take some samples for a patient that was suffering from hepatitis

Well I went to a psychiatrist but never at a psychiatric ward

*Psychiatry* is hard science. Psychology is pseudoscience.

I don't know how much it helped the others that were in with me, but I know for a lot of them it wasn't their first visit.

Poor guy was yellow as a banana

Obamanana

Simpsons character yellow?

A little less but almost

I do view human behavior in the context of evolutionary biology, but evolutionary psychology is rife with nonsensical just-so stories.

The antidepressants they gave me didn't really do what they were supposed to, still working on those, but how they taught me to cope with stress still helps.

I think evolutionary psychology have it's merits

I've had my interactions with psychotherapists and psychiatrists though, neither has helped me much because it doesn't seem like the field of psychology knows how to help men

@mikeflarkin people not to talk about their problems that’s the only healthy way to get rid of them

Heck most psychology do, the problem was when they declared everything a social construct

My father took antidepressants and they also didn’t help

Antidepressants work differently on different people. Exercise is the best consistent thing across all stripes

@Montgomereeeee that was a big part of it, but the basic yoga and breathing exercise helps too.

It actually got better when he stopped

The only merit I see in evolutionary psychology is collapsing the pre-scientific bifurcation of physical and mental.

my therapist treats me like a broken woman and gives me exercises that I just end up not following because I'm not really inclined to, you could say that's my fault as well

I already know I'm not going to be on antidepressants for the rest of my life though.

I would put it as a friend told me

also, I'm a guy

in regards of tims video.. i guess japanese laws that demand sterilization to change gender weren't as bad solution ;D
