mayoraaseiWhen I grow up I want to be an astrocyte and spend the rest of my life glomping endothelial cells ♥
In fact, I even began singing this and then giggling inanely to myself afterwards:
I'm a happy little astrocyte
As happy as can be
There is no other astrocyte
Happier than me
I don't even like vegemite.
Neuro has turned me psycho. Whee. There are so many ways to die mad.
I think my hippocampal/amygdala/cingulate/prefrontal projections are screwed up. Somehow I feel like I'm losing information faster than I'm absorbing >_>;;;;
I want to steal someone's idea and install a USB port in my brain =0=;
Edit:
I cannot begin to express how much HATE I have for questions that involve regurgitation of population statistics.
e.g. Psychotic disorders due to a medical condition accounts for 10% of all psychotic disorders. True or false?
Ans: FALSE. An underlying medical cause is found in 3%.
.........WTF. There I was, spending 2 hours memorising different classes of antipsychotic drugs and COMT and side effects of clozapine and they come up with crap like this.
And MCQs are always dependent on treacherous wording. The difference between "always" and "often" and "occasionally". And woe if you interpreted an intentional error as a spelling mistake, as I have =___=++++++
I don't know if there's any point in force-feeding us models of psychosocial components of mental illnesses =__=
And someone explain why "frequent positive life events can lead to depression"? What is the measure of positivity? Who measures the positivity? Surely if the patient considered them positive then what reason does he/she have to be depressed?! If the society considered those events positive then maybe they need to change the measuring scale!
