learned helplessness

I wanted to write this post because much could be learnt from this. Written by an Argentinian, that has lived all his life in that country. 27 years to date. Us Argentinians have been deprived of education. Have been brainwashed. Have been pushed and normalized sexual immorality. Normalized...

So i've been taking cypro past the last 5 days. I was tooking 2mg on lunch and 2mg on dinner. It was being amazingly therapeutic for me (i was happier, seeing colors more vibrant, enjoying more life, recovering from the learned helplessness i was stuck in, etc). Today i decided to take 2mg on...

Ray peat has spoken about the negatives of acetylcholine relating to stress and learning Acetylcholine is an excitotoxic neurotransmitter Acetylcholine likely raises serotonin in the brain (preferentially inhibits MAO-A in the brain) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19025057/ AChE inhibitors...

Hi all, I'm looking for any interviews or newsletters of Peat's that discuss the postpartum stage? I've listened to one KMUDD referencing PPD and another on Pregnancy and Toxemia, but I can't find much else. Any other book/podcasts/tips that may have helped you through the 4th trimester (I'm...

Not much to comment on this study, considering the mountains of literature already available on the topic of endocrine disruptors such as BPA/BPA/DEHP, except to point out that the results were obtained even with very low-dose exposure to the harmful chemicals. Another interesting finding was...

I've had a lot of problems in my life, problems but the one that concerns me right now is social maladjustment. In fact the main problem is the 'cocktail effect', I see a lot of people who are even more maladjusted but who have friends because they seem basically "normal", I also have crazy...

Fasoracetam might be especially interesting for people that don't react well to the other racetams and stimulants in generel. I've found that phenylpiracetam can make me a bit irritable, but stacking it with something GABAergic alleviated that. Or people dealing with anxiety, depression...

Is Serotonin the Happy Hormone? Think Again Props where props is due. Very well produced and informative documentary, and there is a quote from Ray! He covers learned helplessness, and a lot of really interesting angles. Here is a summary: Modern marketing for antidepressant drugs has been so...

I have had discussions with numerous psychiatrists about the concept of "learned helplessness" (LH) and its relation to chronic stress. All of those doctors flatly denied that LH is a concept relevant to humans and argued that it is nothing more than a useful model of depression in animal...

A great study showing that controlling for factors such as sex, marital status, lower educational level, lifestyle factors, existing chronic and acute disease, substance abuse, etc did NOT change dementia risk. The only thing that correlated (likely causatively) with risk of dementia (e.g...

Ask any doctor if loss of hope can kill and he/she will laugh in your face. Even if you use the more scientific term "learned helplessness" you will still be laughed out of the room. Well, the study below shows that "give-up-itis" (GUI) is quite real and can reliably kill a person if it takes a...

First, please note that this study is about nitrous oxide (N2O) and not nitric oxide (NO). There is a huge difference in effects despite the minor difference in chemical structure. Peat has written about both - the benefits of the former and the dangers of the latter. N2O is commonly known as...

Methylene blue facilitates the extinction of fear in an animal model of susceptibility to learned helplessness. - PubMed - NCBI Abstract The objectives were to (1) extend previous findings on fear extinction deficits in male congenitally helpless rats (a model for susceptibility to learned...

The article starts with focusing on anti-psychotic drugs but then switches to criticize virtually all psychiatric drugs. This "news" is tot really surprising given that most of these drugs work by reducing dopamine. As Peat said, the current mental health drug line came out of propaganda from...

The study makes several points. First, serotonin is involved in the formation of traumatic memories when under shock / stress. Second, memories do not appear to be stored in the synapses, which implies that in theory lost memories (like in patients with Alzheimers or concussions) can be restored...

When you are sick, stressed, and hypothyroid, it can be difficult to muster the motivation for routine tasks, much less for long term projects like pursuing a degree, developing a new skill, assuming new responsibilities at work or at home, improving relations with loved ones, or repairing your...
