As a member of the GrokNation and fellow neuroscience nerd who HAS indeed had a proper breakdown, I appreciate you Mayim for creating this space.

[@Historian212]

Terrific interview. I’m a big Mayim fan, and this is one of the best interviews with her I’ve seen. Low-key and in-depth. Excellent.

Thank you Mona 😄

[@scottconnuck2632]

Hey there, Mayim! Great to hear your perspectives on life, health, and nutrition, and wellness. Like yourself, I too have experienced a few challenges in terms of occasional bouts of depression. That being said... I've always considered my emotional conditions the result of biology and genetic predisposition. I come from the classic Jewish background of overachievers and deep thinkers. Add to this a deep sensitivity, and you have a recipe for angst and a penchant for neurosis and obsessive behavior (not that I am judging myself... simply that my self-understanding leaves me with little delusion as to what makes me tick). I feel we have much in common, and am so happy that I discovered you on KZbin. Thank you for posting! ~Scott

[@elenahoade5888]

If someone feels oppressed by the idea of life changing due to the premier of children, then they aren’t ready for children.

[@patriotforever1033]

Privileged was never mentioned. It should have been. She’s not an “average mom” of an “average” family.

[@MargaretJEllis]

Why?

[@MargaretJEllis]

Why? Her parents were school teachers.

[@equipmentmanagementservice2310]

....jealous much (but label it as the other person being 'privileged' so as to keep the focus off of you and your childish attitude.

[@AJPerez-hz8ru]

I get what you mean BUT ,...Just cause someone is privileged doesnt mean they dont have problems.
