  • 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.

Are we too quick to label ‘normal’ distress?
Q: Can ASMR help people sleep better, and how strong is the evidence?
There is some anecdotal and limited empirical evidence suggesting ASMR may be associated with fewer sleep problems, but the mechanisms and long-term effects are not well established yet and require more rigorous study.
Are we too quick to label ‘normal’ distress?
Q: What is happening inside us when we experience ASMR and why is it interesting to study?
ASMR appears to involve a blend of activation and relaxation, with certain brain regions tied to emotions and somatosensory processing; heart rate often decreases, suggesting a relaxed state, while tingling and sensory experiences may reflect underlying neural and developmental factors.
How to be OK in a world that isn’t
Q: Is it possible to feel OK in a world that isn't, and how can individuals start implementing this?
Yes, by combining practical strategies like setting worry windows, building social support, limiting exposure to distressing news, and using targeted plans that trigger coping behaviors when needed.
Could a keto diet help treat bipolar depression?
Q: Why might a ketogenic, high fat, low carbohydrate diet help improve symptoms of bipolar disorder?
It may relate to energy balance in the brain, with ketones possibly providing a more efficient energy source than glucose for neural networks involved in mood regulation, though the idea is in early days and requires more evidence.
Overcoming OCD
Q: How effective is cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention for OCD?
CBT with ERP is highly effective; about 80% of people can get rid of their OCD with the right combination of treatment, and many others achieve substantial improvements.
