The Mathematics of Psychiatry | Lawrence Amsel | TEDxHunterCCS

[@flexibartr]

So few comments. So few views after years. What's wrong? This is really interesting stuff. There is much to develop in it.

The things is what he’s talking about is psychiatry, and the only thing he’s doing is giving the events names and mathematical description such as delta. And then he continues the conversation about psychiatry using the mathematical codes, so there’s nothing mathematical here.

One of the greatest speech in tedx

Useless in addressing the underlying trauma of Anorexia. Could have used addicts to substances or processes and, in the end, is this formula supposed to, in any way, allow for another choice? If you're wounded and in pain, the choice to not be, is not one. I had hoped you were going to talk about the use of math in pharmacological studies (very important), in psychological testing, in experimental methods, in diagnostic criteria, etc. I think that by now, we know that a whacked out nervous system (having been dysregulated early, often and extremely) is underlying most psychiatric disturbances.

[@0HolyFudge0]

I have came to notice your comments on various KZbin videos. There's a hint of schizophasia in your speech pattern. Do you, by any chance, have schizophrenia?

[@karencohalan9291]

Really? A dieter is directly comparable to an anorexic? An anorexic has a logical, quantifiable, rational process for deciding whether to eat a piece of cake in a given moment? Oh heaven help us... A psychiatrist?? Instead of bringing mathematics into it - could we instead encourage psychiatrists to bring an understanding of the social, economic and familial circumstances into their thought process.....please?

psychiatric drugs destroy lives. while you people continue with life, with career, with family, many victims are left behind whose life could never be the same.

bob bobson I agree that some medications are harmful especially when forced upon patients, but I think some can make a positive difference. I’m a teenager so maybe I’m not one to talk, but I think things like anti-depressants can really make a big difference in the quality of someone’s life. Over medication is still an issue though, especially when it comes to treating difficult patients in psych wards😔
