Funny how Trump has not so far shown interest in a Pulitzer Prize (following JFK). Perhaps he has insight into the total lack of literary value in any of his crass and crude speeches

Nice work. Presumably a similar mechanism working in the opposite direction could lead to persistent over confidence in self efficacy and self certainty - or poor insight?
Excited to see this now out in the world!
We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition

If anyone has data on how catatonia is actually treated in clinical practice (ideally in the UK), @proftonydavid.bsky.social and I would be really interested to hear from you.
For example, how many people get lorazepam? And how long till it's given? What other treatments are given?

This is an excellent overview of the historical development and current application of the medical model in relation to psychopathology.
The Medical Model of Psychopathology
“[The term] “medical model” has become a slogan for use in public debate than a term of precision for furthering intellectual discussion or scientific discovery.” Gerald Klerman, 1977

Klerman noted in 1977 that the term had evolved into a slogan used more for rhetorical impact than scientific clarification

In this paper, we provide examples of complex cases that require studying the interaction between neuropathological & psychological factors within sociocultural contexts, leading to intricate clinical patterns that demand a multidisciplinary approach to clinical care

Thanks. Tried to convey why neuropsychiatry is so rewarding
Devowered in a week over the summer. I could relate to so many of the cases. Made me feel validated with what I’m trying to do in the East Midlands for neuropsychiatry.
