  • All in the Mind awards neverending

    Almost every single episode is either mentioning nominations, finalists or the awards themselves. It becomes tedious waiting for a decent episode on something interesting outside of who nominated who for an award that it coming up then announced.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Depression that's hard to treat
Q: What is ADEPT and how does it differ from traditional therapies?
ADEPT is Augmented Depression Therapy designed to address both negative and positive emotional experiences by guiding patients to pursue meaningful life goals and recognize dampening thoughts that block joy, thereby complementing conventional therapies.
Depression that's hard to treat
Q: How might inflammation relate to depression and its symptoms like anhedonia?
Evidence suggests inflammation may influence brain pathways that underlie mood and reward, and in some trials targeting inflammation has shown benefits for specific symptoms such as anhedonia rather than the overall depression score.
Depression that's hard to treat
Q: What exactly is meant by hard to treat depression?
Hard to treat depression refers to depression that persists despite trying a few frontline treatments like antidepressants or standard therapies, with some patients experiencing relapse when symptoms return.
The psychology of ghosting
Q: How should someone reject another person in a kind way without leaving them hanging?
Strategies include offering positive regard about the person, avoiding apologies that create scripts or forgiveness expectations, and using deflection to shift the focus away from the person being rejected, making the rejection feel less personal.
The psychology of ghosting
Q: What are the common reasons people ghost others?
Reasons include the perceived ease of avoiding confrontation, social norms in online dating, and the belief that ghosting is a safer option to prevent conflict or emotional fallout.
