Psychology and everything related

[Homebrand]

Just wondering who else out there has this as a special interest and if so do you have anything to share on the topic.

I'd love some new idea's on new areas/topics I can research.

Also feel free to add any videos or links that interest you.

Psychology is one of my special interests along with medical arts.
I like researching the whys of different personality types and mental illnesses.
How the medicines are supposed to work and why. And why they have so many side effects.
The network of the brain, it's neuronal firings and wirings science is now finding physical proof of
many of the reasons different people are as they are.
The topic recently on empathy is a fascinating subject.
I found an article on the difference between the areas that fire within the brain in a typical person
vs the sociopath. Finding the neuronal network works differently through use of PET scans and brain wave
activity is something solid. Not just guess work based on questionaires, etc.
So psycopathy is a fascinating topic to me.

I was always attracted to understanding autism also when I was young.
Not knowing I was a HFA myself. Maybe that was why I was interested in it and how children on the
spectrum reacted to the world as they grew up. All of the sensory issues and communicating
challanges.
Savants is an area that needs more understanding. I would love to know more on that.

Psychology is a study in what makes me me and you you.
I view it from a neutral standpoint of just wanting to learn and know.
