VIDEO: “Almost Just Holding on”…Australian Psychiatrist Gets Real About Biden…Something You’ll Never Hear from American Media
(Leisa Audette) How lame is the American media? So lame that it takes foreign media to address the serious subject of Biden’s mental state. It’s not like there aren’t enough examples to study.

Eating for Hunger or Pleasure? Regulating These Feeding Behaviors Involves Different Brain Circuits

Many Of Us Feel ‘Empty’ – Understanding What It Means Is Important For Improving Our Mental Health
(Neuroscience News) It’s likely you have felt “empty” at some point in your life – or perhaps you’ve heard someone else describe themselves in that way. But while this might be a relatively common feeling, it’s often not spoken about as a symptom of mental health difficulties. Typically, “feelings of emptiness” are only considered as a symptom of borderline personality disorder – a mental health condition characterised by challenges with emotions, relationships to others, and feelings of chronic emptiness.

Stop Tearing Down Men

At one point, I contacted them on social media to ask if there was a particular reason that this event always falls on Father’s Day weekend.
