Wait, you don’t get all your neuroscience advice from www.bananatreelog.com (now www.mindmypeelings.com)?

If we can’t trust random sources on the Internet, then who can we trust? /s

The dude obviously is passionate about helping others that struggle with GAD and the general advice isn’t actually bad. Exercise, eat better, be more self-aware, etc… It legit helps! (I don’t see any blatant grifting on that site either so that is a huge plus. It really looks like a COVID project that has gone stale, TBH.)

Where I have a problem is when the science is bad or infographics are misleading.

If you think you have a social anxiety disorder now, just wait until you start spouting off BS about your “chemical imbalances” in front of people who might actually know a thing or two.

Edit: All I could think about when reading about how to increase my dopamine levels was cocaine. (I don’t like cocaine personally, I just like the way it smells.)

His references to “destroying dopamine receptors” is a thing, but I am fairly sure that you need to be hittin’ the meth for a bit to do so. I could be the one wrong on that, though. I have been taking Adderall for about 10 years daily, so if there is anyone at risk of legit brain damage, it’s me.

Cool Guides

Picture based reference guides for anything and everything. If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub. Remember: Infographics are learning tools, guides are reference tools. Sometimes it’s grey.

/r/coolguides mods just let me know if you need access here, just wanted to keep the place available for you
