You don’t really want to know how long ago that was, but to give you a rough idea — I wrote it while wearing my bellbottoms. Back then I learned that infants initially smile as a type of reflex, almost as a way of getting them jump-started, but very soon afterward that grimace emerges into a social smile. They learn how to engage their caretakers, get some attention, be loved and, most importantly, survive. This means that a social smile has Darwinian value. But more than survival, a smile may be the doorway into understanding what brings us the good life. Resear...

(Notice the gleam of intelligence in their little black eyes?) After a long amateur study of corvid behavior, he’s come up with an elegant machine that may form a new bond between animal and human.” (Source: The Situationist) The Situationist blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1552082 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:00:14 +0100 1552082 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1537901&cid=t_118246_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2008%2F06%2F23%2Fcounting-crows-adam-duritz-talks-about-dissociative%2F Of course famous people get a mental illness as frequently as the rest of the population. If 10% of the population is at risk at any given time for a mental disorder — such as depression, ADHD, anxiety or bipolar — then so are celebrities. The problem is, most celebrities don’t want to give more fodder for the paparazzi, and health issues are generally a private thing for most of us. So it’s always refreshing to not only see a celebrity share his or her mental anguish with others, but do so on their own terms. This month’s Men’s Health has a nice piece by the Counting Crows’ front man Adam Duritz about his grappling with a dissociative disorder. His first-person account is helpful in understanding the disturbing symptoms behind this kind of di...

This morning, while walking the dog, I heard a gawdawful noise coming from around the corner. Naturally, the dog and I had to investigate.
