![]() ![]() A smaller hippocampus is one of the hallmarks of depression. These financial stressors would have flooded the hippocampus with glucocorticoids for months, damaging cells, destroying synapses, and ultimately shrinking the region. One of the brain areas hardest hit by chronic stress is the hippocampus, which is important for both memory and mood. Scientists haven’t been able to directly study these types of physical brain changes during the pandemic, but they can make inferences from the many mental health surveys conducted over the last 18 months and what they know about stress and the brain from years of previous research.įor example, one study showed that people who experienced financial stressors, like a job loss or economic insecurity, during the pandemic were more likely to develop depression. With chronic stress, however, the stressor never goes away, and the brain remains flooded with the chemicals. In the long term, elevated levels of glucocorticoids can cause changes that may lead to depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, and inattention. ![]() Once the stressor is gone, the hormone levels recede. In small doses, glucocorticoids help the brain and body respond to a stressor (think: fight or flight) by changing heart rate, respiration, inflammation, and more to increase one’s odds of survival. One way stress does this is by triggering the release of hormones called glucocorticoids, most notably cortisol. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a similar idea at work in The Widow, and Unusual Suspects, although most people would call it fate. I’ve written before about interconnectedness, and how I’m obsessed with the idea that everything you do connects you, no matter how tenuously, to everyone else in the world and everything they do. ![]() The answer, I think, is that it is the inevitability that interests me. Sure, I like his style, his prose, and I’ll come back to that later, but I like his plots too, even though they are, almost without exception, absolutely predictable. It’s a question that applies to my enjoyment of Georges Simenon’s novels too. Yet, despite the familiar formula, despite the inevitability of the whole thing, I still enjoy it. Some of the outcomes are surprising, but, all in all, it’s still pretty formulaic stuff I mean, if you know, by virtue of the title of the programme, that the murderer isn’t going to be the most obvious suspect, then one needs only to keep an eye on the unlikeliest to find your man. It’s a true crime documentary series, the premise of which is that murders are not always perpetrated by the most obvious candidates. Recently I’ve been watching a programme called Unusual Suspects. ![]() ![]() And, he adds that they are displayed to others at their deepest and most meaningful level when they grow out of a love for God first. Lewis makes the point that all of them can, and often do, intertwine. He used translations from ancient Greek, because he knew that language had a large range of words to define what love can mean. Based on a set of radio talks he’d done two years earlier, the book presents and then explores the notion that humans are able to feel different kinds of love, depending on the situations and relationships involved. The phrase The Four Loves came from the title of a 1960 book penned by C.S. They vary in degree of intimacy and intensity, but all are meant to encourage and edify. One Christian writer found four words in particular, from ancient Greek, that capture the essence of several types of love we are capable of showing. Scripture provides many examples of how we can express devotion to each other. ![]() ![]() Weaving her personal narrative as a Taiwanese American and insights as a clinician with evidenced-based tools, Dr. Permission to Come Home confronts and destabilizes the stigma Asian Americans face in caring for their mental health. Yet despite the fact that over 18 million people of Asian descent live in the United States today - 5.6 percent of the population - they are the racial group least likely to seek out mental health services. As Asian Americans investigate the personal and societal effects of longstanding cultural narratives suggesting they take up as little space as possible, their mental health becomes critically important. I am so very grateful that she exists." -Steven Yeun, actor, The Walking Dead and Minari Asian Americans are experiencing a racial reckoning regarding their identity, inspiring them to radically reconsider the cultural frameworks that enabled their assimilation into American culture. I believe that her knowledge, presence, and activism for mental health in the Asian American/Immigrant community have been invaluable and groundbreaking. Wang has been an incredible resource for Asian mental health. ![]() ![]() ![]() Frank just wants to find out what happened to Rosie Daly-and he's willing to do whatever it takes, to himself or anyone else, to get the job done.

One of his best-selling books was about the Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Toobin is senior legal analyst for CNN, staff writer at The New Yorker and a former Assistant U.S. The Nine is based on interviews with justices and their law clerks that were given on a not-for-attribution basis - meaning, in plain language, that Toobin heard stories, opinions and analyses directly from the horses' mouths, but isn't allowed to reveal who said what. It's also a behind-the-scenes look at the court, its recent decisions and the personalities of the justices behind them. ![]() ![]() His book is about how this counterrevolution developed. So says Jeffrey Toobin in his new book The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court.

The illustrations are gorgeous with a very retro kind of feel, which I love. They drove to the mountains, far from the sea, for two nights of camping (or possibly three).
