This instance proved uniquely unpopular despite lots of marketing. I'll get around to removing the links to it in bot posts and emails and Mastodon graphics eventually.
It might have made sense to keep it open if Lemmy was going to offer private forums for vetted members anytime in the near future (therapists like privacy in discussions) but this objective is barely on the developer's radars.
I am definitely keeping https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org open and would encourage you to join that site if you are in need of a Mastodon instance and work at all broadly speaking in the field of mental health.
The research found that kids with ASD and ADHD couldn't clear out BPA and another similar compound called Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) with as much efficiency as other kids, potentially leading to longer exposure to their toxic effects.
IF these compounds are more prevalent recently, and IF the toxic effects are what cause the ADHD symptoms, THEN we might end up with newly ADHD and autistic adults who don't get diagnosed as such because there is no childhood history of such.
"This research addresses this unique component of science attitudes—spirituality of science: feelings of meaning, awe, and connection derived through scientific ideas."
What does Raven's SPM even measure? Would you expect any difference in SPM scores between groups with good socio-economic status v/s poor socio-economic status or with exposure to good schools? @psycholinguistics@psychology@cognition@cogsci#psychology
Refutation texts can change people’s misunderstandings about science. But would refutation texts be even more convincing if they had engaging pictures? Perhaps not. Find out why in my latest Substack.
New blog post on my recent paper on loneliness. We used the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) to get a gold standard observational measure of spending time alone in daily life. We compared this to self-reported loneliness. Punchline is the graph I included at the end of the article.

I need to make an interactive/ animated video explaining some concept. Does anyone know open-source tools/softwares to make TED style with videos with voiceover. Any help is appreciated :)

This AI will follow along and take the session notes for the doctor by
listening to the office visit. It will also bring up charts and records
through voice command and prompt the doctor to do routine things during
the office visit. It's due out early next year.
This could be very helpful.
However I can imagine a few kinks in the office visit process initially:
Patient: "Doctor, my knee hurts"
AI: "REMEMBER TO MAKE A FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT"
Patient: "What was that?!"
Doctor: "Oh pay no attention -- that is just the new AI system everyone
has to consent to for treatment. It will help us during the session."
AI: "HAVE YOU EXAMINED THE KNEE X-RAY YET?"
Doctor: "AI, pull up the knee x-ray"
Patient: "This is my first visit, there is no knee x-ray yet."
AI: "REMEMBER TO SCHEDULE A KNEE X-RAY"
Doctor & Patient Together: "We don't know if we need a knee x-ray yet!"
Patient: "It started hurting yesterday"
Doctor: "Jump up on the table and I'll take a look at it"
AI: "SHALL I SUMMON A NURSE TO WATCH TO GUARD AGAINST ALLEGATIONS OF
IMPROPRIETY?"
Doctor: "NO!"
Doctor: "It does look a bit red. Does this hurt?"
Patient: "A bit when you touch there and I bend it."
AI: "SHALL I SCHEDULE THE KNEE X-RAY NOW?"
Doctor: "SHUT UP! AI -- Silent mode now!"
Office visits are going to be fun the next few years while this gets sorted.

If you ever wonder why psychotherapists sometimes stop taking insurance
in the United States, there are lots of reasons. Low pay is the typical
one.
Hassle is another.
I'm trying to catch-up on billing this fine Sunday afternoon. The last
thing I need is a billing rabbit hole to get stuck in...
Today's rabbit hole -- trying to figure out why once of my insurance
panels keeps paying significantly different rates on the same CPT 90837
billing code (the code for a roughly one hour session). A LARGE
difference in fact.
Took a long time... drum roll...
I'm paid LESS for POS 02 (place of service telehealth AWAY from home)
versus POS 10 (place of service telehealth AT home).
Cause, yeah -- that makes sense.
So, yes, I'm required to code whether or not a client is at home for
telehealth. Why? No idea. (I suppose I do need to know the address
in case I need to send an ambulance or something.)
This all was made especially fun by:
a) The insurance company does not publish a rate schedule. No way to
know if I'd get a check or a claw-back if I inquire about the discrepancy.
b) The client has co-insurance. So the co-insurance rate varies by
place of service (POS) too. Client pays a percentage (%) of the total
amount I'm due.
It's crazy-making. And "crazy" is a term I usually avoid. Except when
discussion the American health system.
TITLE: Psilocybin‐assisted psychotherapy for treatment‐resistant
depression: Which psychotherapy?
From the abstract, looks like interpersonal psychotherapy and intensive
short-term dynamic psychotherapy are the most promising candidates.
I'll have to give this a full read later.
This might be of special interest to psychotherapists in and around
Washington, DC which has legalized psilocybin. Of course, it being
available recreationally is not the same as a therapeutic regime -- but
therapeutic clinics are emerging rapidly in the area.
TITLE: Good Therapy Credit Card Info and Security / 3rd Party Tracking
Yes, I actually do ask myself why I bother anymore, in case you are
wondering.
This stuff is so ubiquitous now as to be all but unavoidable.
That said, perhaps multiple letters from their customers (such as the
one below) might sway thinking?
www.goodtherapy.org
Dear Good Therapy Support:
[email protected]
I just updated my payment information with a new credit card.
In order to do this, I had to turn off "Brave Shields" -- basically a
web browser feature that blocks 3rd party tracking (cookies, web
beacons, sending data out to outside URLs). The web page would not
display with shields up.
*In payment transactions on multiple other websites I have NEVER had to
turn off my 3rd party tracking blockers.**
*
This is disconcerting -- makes me wonder how secure your website is.
Please consider changing this.
Also -- although I will never use your Good Therapy Verified Seal widget
-- its abilities to collect data for tracking, analysis, and advertising
from mental health websites is in very poor judgement. This stops only
just slightly short of a HIPAA violation as anyone looking at a
therapist's website is certainly considering mental health help. Data
from multiple such widgets and trackers across websites is used all the
time by 3rd party aggregators to discover the full name and identity of
visitors.
This is disappointing behavior that has lowered my trust in your
organization.
Thanks,
Michael Reeder
