He might not be the most dynamic speaker in the world, but he makes up for it with solid and balanced analysis.

Thanks for covering this, it's super interesting and a new idea to me, but makes sense on so many levels with my partner, mostly I think in relation to being outside-the-norm, which could have been the result of us being perceived as being different as we were growing up, and not fitting in.

oh, gosh! all i know for sure is that after 20 years of treatment i still can't find or attract anyone lasting...in fact, i am currently on an 'apology tour' with the partners i was lumped in with before i was medicated (and during) ...to try and explain why i was such a freak, emotionally and intimately. i just didn't know what i didn't know, ya know? so far, the response has been good! i suppose they figured something was up with me...and then, because the response is so warm, i dig them again. hahahah- jesus, what a mess.

Intersting research. Can we do one that covers male vs female rate on marry partner with adhd vs non adhd?

I'm curious about how to assess my own mental health and the likelyhood of success with different treatments with with more accuracy. Specifically, I'm wondering if there is a way in psychiatry/psychology to use statistical analysis/clustering to find other patients like me and see what worked for them, rather than looking at only one DSM entry and seeing what works for that general group of people who meet that criteria. I feel like the constellation of my problems/diagnoses as a whole is a more accurate descriptor of what my neurodivergence is specifically, and what treatments are most likely to be effective based on past patients. For example, I have ADHD, BFRBs (excoriation disorder worse than trich), major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, substance abuse disorder, and gender dysphoria (I'm a trans woman) - though most of these oscillate severity-wise in and out of the clinical range over the course of months or years. I've also had a single bout of psychotic depression and non-suicidal self-injury disorder several years ago. This probably doesn't exist but i'm imagining a node-linked map database where you can see an array of disorders and the strength of connections in terms of comorbidities, successful treatments, unsuccessful treatments, prognosis, etc. One could enter in some health data and mental diagnoses and see where they fit in this topological space to get a more granular picture of their health, see likely genetic variations, and see what helped others like me. If this doesn't exist do you think something like this will be common/possible in the near future? Thanks for your videos! I really appreciate the ones on LGBTQ and BFRBs lately since excoriation and being trans have been the two biggest hurdles i've faced, and with incredibly little research relative to their prevalence and impact on people.
