    @Long Wang She's not actually. Her kids are vaccinated. It's not as clear cut as all-in or full-anti. She's more in the "research each vaccine, why it's given and when, then decide based on the research", which makes sense to me, a hardcore pro-vaxxer. Some vaccines absolutely should be mandatory for everyone at a specific age or time (or health crisis), I can also see an argument for deciding as you go that based on certain evidence, or current events, it may be good to have it now or wait for specific circumstances that justify it, which may never come around. OTOH, Mayim has the scientific knowledge and literacy to stand a chance at doing it right (which doesn't mean she'll always get it right, she's a specialist of a specific branch of science which is NOT immunology). Most people don't have that.

    @Long Wang Western medicine is a strange business full of racist spirometers, painkillers based on petroleum that ruin your liver and give you alzheimers and bad diet advice if you actually do the research- however, vaccines really aren’t “any” of those things an anti-vaxxer says they are, period. They are the best scientifically engineered means to immunize a population against a contagious agent- and you should definitely get one if your government or institution suggests you do. I’ve healed broken bones, botched laparoscopic surgeries and ciprofloxacin poisoning by pure metaphysical practice in myself - and had instances where I prayed for hospital patients and they spontaneously recovered. I believe you can also NOT need a vaccination. However, I still get them - and think they will make me healthy instead of ill - because I didn’t get ill as a bunch of people in my army platoon got pneumonia after getting a flu shot - solely on “reading psalms and thanking God for health.”

    Writers often create a character based on a person's real personality. I remember watching a video (or show on TV) on the cast of FRIENDS and how their real personality is included in the character. Also, the fact she is a neuroscientist really moved her to the head if the list for the casting directors. It's extremely helpful that she understood the basis of Big Bang. She maybe was able to correct the writers, too.

But yes... Mayim does a great job of picking her words carefully.

    I've had ECT. A year of it. And it was the best thing for my depression ever....It's absolutely the last, last, last form of treatment. It seriously damaged my short term memory, but nothing else worked. I wasn't able to do therapy effectively because of it, I've taken every family of medication over the last fifteen years, it just destroyed my life. But the ECT cleared it out. It was like everything being colour after having been black and white in the Wizard of Oz. It meant I was able to engage with therapy and turn my life around. For the people ECT works for, it works a treat. But I've seen it destroy people completely, too, and that's a risk you take at each session. You've no idea how you'll come out at the end of each session. But I'd do it all over again.

    I had the same experience. I did a series of ECT in 2016, and I haven't had a severe depressive episode since. I think it's important to note that they do it under sedation now, also. I had a headache when I woke up every time, but you don't feel the actual procedure.

    Yeah, this is very important. I looked into all sorts of treatment for my depression, and if needed I'd do the shocks. Currently I'm on medication that is effective for me. But after a decade of depression after depression after depression - I was willing to do pretty much anything. People still have that image of unsedated ECT and that's been different for a very long time.

    Dr Oliver Sacks has a lot of interesting information on this syndrome, as does Dr ramachandran. I highly recommend both of them for thorough discussions of the topic (and a vast array of other neuroscience topics). If I remember correctly, they noted that it may be caused by a stroke or brain injury that damages the way they incorporate memories/recognition of people and the correlating emotions. For example, when they see their mother, they expect to feel warmth and love. When the appropriate emotional impulses aren’t linked with the appearance of their mother, they feel as though something is off - that it can’t be their mother because they aren’t feeling the appropriate things they expect to feel upon seeing their mother. They don’t know that’s what’s happening - that their visual cortex isn’t linking up with their emotions properly - they just feel that something is wrong and assume it’s because that isn’t really their mother. They won’t have the same reaction to, say, the mailman, though, because there’s no expectation that they should feel love or tenderness for that person, whereas the lack of those emotions when seeing their mother feels jarring and frightening. Especially interesting is that if their mother calls them on the phone (while out of sight), they will usually feel as though they’re speaking to their actual mother and not an imposter because the disconnect is between the VISUAL cortex and their emotional centers (limbic system? For the life of me I can’t remember right now), so hearing her voice while she isn’t in view does not trigger the same feelings of their mother being an imposter as seeing her in person evokes.

    It is first and foremost an autoimmune disease, but if someone in your direct family has it, you have an increased risk of developing Demyelinization (MS), but I would NEVER call it a genetic disease (even with the small risk) because there's a lot more of "nurture" than "nature" involved in its development. Basically, because of "something" or an "event" we don't know of, your blood-brain barrier becomes permeable and lets "unknown particles" inside the brain, which then triggers this sustained inflammatory response of your own immunity attacking motor neurons... What we DO know now is that "events" such as a blow to the head, a car crash, or having even really high fever, may put you at risk, which increases if someone in your immediate family has MS.
