The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Spoilers: depression isn't caused by a 'chemical imbalance' in the brain) in c/science@hexbear.net

Yeah the "chemical imbalance" theory of mental health was literally made up by an advertising agency.

They thought, correctly I imagine, that people would be more likely to take medicine for it if they had a simple theory like that

Making an OD profile reminded me of making a resume in like all the worst ways possible.

Really made me feel like trying to convince someone to date me. Idk but in my mind it shouldn't take convincing, if we have a genuine connection it should happen organically.

Making an online dating profile literally felt like commodifying and marketing myself. I just stopped it felt so gross
