Damselz-In-Sanity

Hello everyone and welcome back! Due to the overwhelming response on last month's # faltufriday blog, I thought, why not have a part 2? So, this month's quote is: Medication is the only effective treatment for mental health disorders. To what extent do you agree on the truth or falsity of this statement? Drop your thoughts in the comments below; please add the phrase 'private' in the brackets if you don't want the comment to be public. Last but not least, please share and follow for more content - every Friday! Looking forward to reading your thoughts! Signing off, Kuhu :)

 Pizza or Pani Puri? KK or One Direction? Read a book or binge a TV show? We've all been confronted with 'crucial' life choices but many a time, when under pressure, it is common to feel paralysed; so yes, don't worry - you're not the only one. In fact, scientists have found that nearly 20% of the adult population suffers from this. Why? Let's find out! Researchers have found that the stability of preference-based decisions relies on the intensity of communication between two specific areas of the brain, rather than the strength of activation in individual brain regions. To investigate this, they employed transcranial alternating current stimulation, a non-invasive technique that modulates brain activity patterns. They reduced information flow between the prefrontal cortex (located just below the forehead) and the parietal cortex (above both ears) while participants made preference-based or sensory decisions about food. The study revealed that when the informati...

 I promise this metaphor will make sense by the end of this post. Hello everyone and welcome backzo! We've all had friendships. We all have friendships. We all will have friendships. There's a reason I used the past and future tense here. Now this post is not going to be about the childhood friendships we've all grown up with and have been tight-knit since we were 4.  This post is going to be about those friendships which didn't last so long. Now I think we can all relate to the fact that we're not close to every single person we knew in 2nd grade. I, for a matter of fact, had invited my entire class for my birthday in 2nd and now I don't even follow half of them on social media. But let's jump to life during and post-high  school for a bit (thora aur relatable) High school: things start getting all mixed up. Everybody gets serious about their future – some are prepping for college entrances; some for the SAT. It's pretty much a given that you won't...

We've heard of Boy Math; we've heard of Girl Math; some of us have even heard of "Dog Math" Welcome back to a fresh new month with ✨ADHD Math✨ ADHD math is hyper-focussing for 9 hours straight when you crack a concept but not being able to sit still for 2 minutes when it doesn't interest you in the least (despite a heavy deadline that you blissfully procrastinated because "you work well under pressure") ADHD math is breaking down 40 pages into 2 20's; 20 into 2 10's; 10 into 2 5's and saying: Okay, if I do 5 pages at a sitting thoroughly and take a break after, I should be done in 8 sittings.  And then you reach the 35th page and the task is basically over (only 5 more pages, I'll do it later: the 8th sitting never made its way) ADHD math is thinking: The toast w...
