Nope, not PFAS. Few places have filtration sufficient to address them, from my understanding.
PFAS last a hell of a long time without our intervention
The majority happen within the first year after birth, that’s a long time
Even your study that (you claim) says it doesn’t work basically concludes it works for depression? I’ve only seen it used in treatment-resistant depression and it’s worked from what I’ve seen. But that’s like 2 people
Edit: I’m not convinced you read those studies actually….
However, subgroup analysis showed that the risk of recurrence was significantly lower in patients receiving ECT with antidepressant therapy compared to the antidepressant group alone
The present meta-analysis showed that ECT, in combination with pharmacotherapy, effectively reduced the risk of relapse and recurrence at the end of the study trial… This shows a potential synergistic role for ECT and psychotropic drugs in the maintenance treatment of depression.
So, it works? The second study has a couple issues though. As the first one points out, ECT does not work as well (though still pretty well) on Bipolar individuals, yet the second study lumps bipolar and unipolar depression together. The study also acknowledges that maintenance ECT sessions are not consistent across studies, which is a major issue. Obviously if you aren’t doing follow up visits, you have a higher risk of relapse. This is the study you claimed showed it was not better than other treatments.
They also state:
a meta-analysis by Dong et al. [20] found that ECT was superior to maintenance antidepressant therapy in preventing depression recurrence.
Back to the first study…. It’s about kids. Even within the study, they acknowledge it seems to work better on older children. So that study doesn’t say it doesn’t work, it says it doesn’t work as well on younger children. It also acknowledges:
A retrospective cohort study showed the risk of suicide was found to be significantly reduced for adults with MDD who received ECT.
In other words, while it may only “work” on up to 70% of patients, it might mitigate the most severe symptoms of depression and prevent suicide.
Basically, I don’t see anything in what you shared that calls ECT ineffective or controversial. Even the “negative” study you shared indicates it works. It does not focus on treatment-resistant depression though, which is the most interesting application.
but actually, do this. just use a private tracker
Too lazy to find the article and read the whole thing…. Anyone else care to check if they controlled for time spent viewing porn online? I wonder if that’s a lurking variable here
So this is a good thing then?
But your argument is that they are obese because they eat what their parents eat, right? So if 2/3rds of their meals aren’t from those unhealthy parents, wouldn’t the kids be healthier?
Fuck it, I’ll publicly admit I found this funny
How accurate of an answer do you need? I have an engineering minor and didn’t do much with fluid dynamics, but I know some general basic info
Translocation is not referred to as Trisomy 21
technically Trisomy 21 is the most common cause of Down syndrome. It is not actually synonymous, as some people with Down syndrome do not have Trisomy 21.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling or ignorant lol
Ig I’m sorry you got caught being a sexist?
I was just about to give OP the “most sexist” award….
It’s possible, but there is a “holier than thou” tone in a few of their questions. It could be an asocial person, but even then, it’s a teachable moment.
As you sort of suggested in your example, only if I voted for the person who did something wrong (or, I suppose if I were to miss an election and failed to vote against that person).
